Cheif: Morinobu Endo

We believe that the 21st century is the century of carbon because of its close relationships with energy, environment, information and communications, and bio/medical applications. Within this background, we have launched ICST with a target of becoming the world-class core education and research institute of "CARBON" by combining widespread education and research resources in Shinshu University. With a target of substantial contribution to industry and economy by creating interdisciplinary and fused field from Engineering, Medicine, Textile, Agriculture, Science and Education, the ICST will accomplish its role in contributing to our society through active domestic and international collaborations.
