Human & Nature Interlaced Life Science
Human & Nature Interlaced Life Science
Life on the earth is characterized by its enormous diversity. One of the goals for this unit is to establish life science theories that integrate humans and nature based on the concept of the ‘life chain’ to explain that all organisms on the earth are connected, with infectious diseases as a starting point. It aims to create new interdisciplinary academic fields in pursuit of the physical, mental, and social health of humans, as well as to realize sustainability <Global Society and Coexistence in Harmony>, involving animals and plants other than humans. It searches for a new paradigm of life science from the perspective of the spiral hierarchy of the life chain.

Research Unit for Development of Global Sustainability
Research Unit for Development of Global Sustainability
We are currently facing globally progressing resource depletion and environmental degradation as a serious issue, and it is our urgent task to appropriately manage the situation toward the establishment of sustainable living infrastructure for humans. The logics of the high economic growth period are no longer valid. In order to develop sustainable living platforms, it is necessary to immediately shift to balanced contraction approaches. This unit promotes research projects that aim to resolve global issues by coordinating advanced and highly specialized research methods and outcomes, which have been individually pursued by each member in a wide range of academic fields related to natural environments, humanity, society, life, and materials.

Unit of Academic Knowledge Integration Studies
Unit of Academic Knowledge Integration Studies
This unit conducts advanced research on digital humanities, a boundary area between information science and humanities/social sciences, aiming at the creation of an academic big database adapted to cloud environments, as well as the innovative development of interdisciplinary studies in the fields of humanities/ social sciences and natural sciences using big data. The database will be created by coordinating academic materials accumulated in the libraries and museums of Kyoto University and related data that are extensively available on the web, using semantic web technologies. In interdisciplinary research areas, the unit addresses various issues related to human security assurance. It efficiently searches for related research papers, historical materials, and statistical and observation data using the semantic technologies, and analyzes them based on visualization, machine learning, and simulation to clarify current statuses, propose political measures, and predict future trends.
