With the employed faculty/staff leading the Education and Research Core Units, outstanding research activities in the international level and the IPER doctoral program are created. The IPER Doctoral Program led by professors in advanced research fields is divided into three groups: (1)Leading Scientist Training Program; (2)Creative Pioneer Training Program; and (3)Transdisciplinary Technologist Training Program, which are created respectively to (1)foster one's ability to carry out research during their learning and experience; (2)develop individuals with broader perspectives not only in the academic community but also in various career paths; and (3)cultivate individuals with great skills in planning and problem solving in different fields of research beyond the framework/boundaries of the graduate school. The Steering and Management Committee is responsible for the overall management of IPER including health, safety and back office functions.
