Research Units Exploring Future Horizons
Creating New Academic Fields
The Research Units Exploring Future Horizons were launched to integrate the diverse academic specialties (interdisciplinary fusion) of the Kyoto University Institutes and Centers as members of the KURCA, and create new academic fields, adopting a bottom-up approach. They are 4 research project units, each of which addresses ‘unexplored areas of science’ for the creation of new academic fields.

The percolation model explains that an independent event is led to a cluster of connected events when it exceeds a certain level, and it finally percolates over the entire structure. The figure above based on the percolation model describes the creation of new academic fields in connection with the Research Units Exploring Future Horizons.
