With the rapid development of advanced technologies, as demonstrated in information technology,biotechnology and new materials, the industrialized nations have moved into the hyper-industrial society in early 21st century. While people can enjoy new opportunities and potentials by those technologies, nations have to handle numerous problems, such as the deterioration of the global environment and conflicts over those technologies. In addition, the emergence of new technology related to our fundamental lives such as genetic engineering has caused tension between technology and humankind.
　For the resolution of those problems, it is essential for us to theoretically analyze and study them and to propose concrete idea and ways, so that we can effectively design and implement the interface between technology and humankind.
　The goal of our Graduate School is to train our students to acquire those skills and mind for the creation of society with the harmony between them.
