Education and research on the environment
The School of Informatics and Sciences offers a field-trip coursework, "Field Seminar on Environ-mental Issues", as part of environmental education. The students usually learn about environmentally sound use of materials and energy in the global perspective. At the seminar, they visit and learn about waste treatment facilities and power plants. It is a fruitful opportunity for them to think about environmental issues from the viewpoint of daily life.(Featured on P15,16 of the Report)
