Tohoku University established the Tohoku Forum for Creativity in 2013 as an international visitor research institute promoting research via its thematic programs and junior research programs. The Design Hub for our Future Society and the Research DX Support Center have been newly established within the Tohoku Forum for Creativity in November 2020.
The Design Lab for our Future Co–existence plans a variety of programs in line with the three themes: How we can harmoniously coexist with (1) people, (2) nature, and (3) technology through the use of cyber and physical space. This is done to discover and identify specific tasks that need to be addressed in our society.
The Research DX Support Center assists in data management tasks, such as remote data acquisition, high–speed data processing, and other data–driven technology. Data managers and data scientists will support the research community in responding to the ongoing digital transformation (DX).
