The Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) was established in 2001 as an inter-university research institute corporation to conduct integrated research in global environmental studies. RIHN has conducted inter-disciplinary research projects that contribute to solutions of global environmental problems, guided by our awareness that the global environmental problems find their roots in human culture. Especially, during the 2nd midterm period of RIHN (2009-2015), we have focused on transdisciplinary research, collaborating with various stakeholders. On the occasion of the end of the 2nd midterm period, we have organized an international symposium to discuss what we have achieved to date and where we are moving in the 3rd midterm period (2016-2022).
