The aim is to nurture \"next-generation social innovators\" who aspire to solve social issues in their countries through business, with students from Japan and partner countries learning together.<br \/>\r\nThe themes of this year's program are the <b>environmental sector (circular economy, carbon neutral, and nature positive) and the disaster prevention sector.<\/b> We expect that Tohoku University undergraduate and graduate students, as well as individuals from partner countries who are interested in addressing social issues in these fields and are eager to take action to solve them, will collaborate to co-create, contribute solutions, and engage in business planning while receiving expert guidance and advice. Moreover, by establishing a global network, we also aim to facilitate ongoing implementation and development of ideas.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;

The consumption of resources leads to the depletion of natural capital, and the effects of climate change caused by industrial activities pose a threat to people\u2019s livelihoods. Therefore, we believe that we need a place for co-creation where individuals with a desire to learn, connect, and effect change to create a better future for people are essential. From an innovative perspective, we aim to capture values that cannot be \u201cmeasured\u201d through traditional methods. We are looking forward to receiving applications from people of diverse backgrounds with a passion to make a real difference in the world.<br \/>\r\nChange your mind, Innovate the future.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"hd2_01\"><!-- .hd2_01 -->Contact<!-- \/.hd2_01 --><\/h2>\r\n<p>Please contact us via <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/pages\/responsepage.aspx?id=Qvyp64hVMU2KTm4b950xwHAXYaccH5xBqRXwYpgJHB1URUJKNDU4Q0kxTUhPVERKOVFUMDVTQ1ZMUCQlQCN0PWcu\">this inquiry form<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>International Education Section<\/p>\r\n<p>Student Exchange Division<\/p>\r\n<p>Tohoku University<\/p>\r\n<p>sed2@grp.tohoku.ac.jp<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SIH Information Session Date\uff1a 2024\/6\/4(Tue) 12:00-13:00\u3000*Online Outline\uff1a SIH content explanation, Q&amp;A sess [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68458"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68458"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68757,"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68458\/revisions\/68757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.insc.tohoku.ac.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
