Educational Activities
At the Institution of Decision Science for a Sustainable Society, we are working to connect the accomplishments of research activities to the solution of social issues. As a team, I have been attempting to integrate the five modules activities (Environment, Disaster, Health, Governance and Human Sciences) to create a new discipline called "Decision Science". The results have been published in the journal "Decision Science" and in a participatory observation research paper on the control of fire ants (Three case studies for control of invasive alien ant species, fire ant (Solenopsis invicta, Formicidae in Japan). In addition, we have provided graduate students with various learning opportunities such as presentation seminars, organizational training workshops, research proposal practice and Ph. D. Research (pre-seminar of Ph. D. thesis). As a result, a wide variety of students are gradually getting the workforce on world-wide.
