MISSION

The University of Tokyo and DAIKIN INDUSTRIES, LTD. are working to solve complex social issues and create new businesses by generating innovation around the "added value of air," an increasingly important factor in the future society, through joint research aimed at developing future technologies. *

The Space Design for Co-Creation Research Program crosses disciplinary boundaries, such as information technology and architecture, to assess air quality from physical and psychological environmental perspectives and to explore the management and design of facilities that make future predictions and decisions based on data. We aim to create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone by developing cutting-edge mechanisms that take advantage of online and offline characteristics. Furthermore, we will engage in research and human resource development to create new lifestyles With/After COVID-19.
