In the age of the ITER development, highly educated researchers are needed more than before. In addition, we are requested to provide talented youth to industries and academic institutions in the wide range of fields from plasma physics to plasma applications. Therefore, research topics should be an integration of various fields, and students have to experience on-the-job training in the forefront of theoretical studies, experiments, and simulation researches. In this project, we�fll be a core of the network-type professional education and research system and promote academic exchange with world top-class universities and institutions in the field of plasma physics and fusion technologies in cooperation with Department of Complexity Science and Engineering.

We propose �gan university-wide innovative challenge integrating humans, goods, the earth and space�h aiming at �gensuring sufficient energy supply for future space activities�h and �gsolving the terrestrial energy shortage problem by solar power stations�h in cooperation with other departments, graduate schools at the opportunity of the International Space Station completion.
