School of Sustainable Design, the 9th school in University of Toyama, was founded in April 2018. The mission of our school is to create safe, secure and comfortable cities and towns to realize sustainable society. In order to achieve this, three departments are involved: Department of Earth System Science, Department of Civil Design and Engineering, Department of Material Design and Engineering. A wide range of problems related to civic design can be studied: geology, meteorology, infrastructure, traffic system, microstructure and physical properties of materials, etc. We are now confronted by the decline and aging of population and related matters. Innovation is required to solve these matters for the realization of sustainable society. We believe that the collaboration of three departments will produce new ideas.
