From Aizu to the World

To put its founding principle into practice, the University of Aizu recruited faculty from throughout the world. The situation in Japan today is such that both the quality and quantity of computer researchers and engineers are insufficient, and there are only a limited number of people capable of supervising them at the time when the University was established. Accordingly, the University recruited outstanding individuals from Japan and overseas.

The University sought outstanding faculty by reviewing their achievements in their respective fields through detailed examinations, and this resulted in approximately 40% of the faculty being non-Japanese. this level of internationality has become one of the University's most distinctive features. Not only does this prove that computer science and engineering is viable globally, but also it illustrates the urgent need to train computer researchers and engineers in Japan. Of course our outstanding faculty also includes Japanese educators and researchers, and both Japanese and non-Japanese researchers on campus collaborate on joint projects to make global research practically viable.

Research Center Introduction

Research Center for Advanced Information Science and Technology (CAIST)

CAIST is an organization that conducts advanced research based on computer science and engineering in collaboration with external institutions. Currently, two research teams (clusters) have been established as priority research areas, promoting projects in which a large number of students participate.

Basic cluster (B cluster)

The Basic Cluster is a budding, strategic research team and is expected to transition to the CAIST cluster as the team-based research progresses.

Aizu Research Center for Space Informatics (ARC-Space)

In the field of space information science, which integrates space science (planetary science) and information science, we develop data and software that add new value and contribute to the elucidation of the origin and evolution of solar-system bodies.

AI Center

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is attracting attention from society and industry, and our objective is to solve its technological issues and strengthen our human resource development capabilities.
