Program/Project
The Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) is developing comprehensive research that transcends existing academic fields and disciplines through a “Program–Project system” that unites several research projects under a Program.
Research Program
Research programs conduct research on specific global environmental issues through collaborative practice in society by promoting multiple research projects.
There are three types of Research Programs: "Global Environmental Culture Program," "Combining Knowledge for a Fundamental Innovation of Land Use" and "Co-creation of the Earth-human System" and each project belongs to one of these programs.

Feasibility Study
- Enhancing disaster resilience of socio-ecological systems: Integrating multiscalar and geospatial environmental-hydrological-social data
- Empirical research on improving area capabilities using the creative process of deviation in art projects
- Establishing the methodology of attitude and behavior change through integrating narrative and scientific knowledge based on citizen science and deliberation: Case of climate change
Strategic Program
In collaboration with research projects, strategic program aims to develop concepts and methodologies to solve global environmental problems in collaboration with society.
