Outline and Purpose of the Course Research internships aim to cultivate the ability to stay in the laboratory of an overseas research institution for a few weeks to a few months to search for the truth in boundary areas that cross existing academic fields from the perspective of design studies through joint research with local researchers and to organize and lead research teams in new research fields. To achieve this, students shall search for an internship at a prominent foreign research institute, an international collaboration partner of this university, and determine their host research institution while considering their joint research proposals, plans, and accommodations for the stay. Students must submit a research plan in advance and undergo a preliminary review from the relevant faculty member before participating in the internship. After the internship, they are expected to submit a report and present it in the debriefing session. Evaluation will consider each researcher's research results, as well as their contribution to the host institution. Participation in short-term intensive schools held at overseas partner universities shall also be considered.
For this course, the decision on whether to dispatch a researcher shall be made through peer review by internal and external reviewers, including overseas reviewers, based on the following criteria: (1) the research proposal must be for a theme related to design studies that integrates multiple different fields, and (2) the plan must include joint research with an overseas research institution.
Course Goals This course is an internship for conducting joint research at a host institute based on the following criteria: (1) the research proposal must be for a theme related to design studies that integrates multiple different fields, and (2) the plan must include joint research with an overseas research institution. Through joint research with overseas researchers, students will cultivate the ability to form dialogue and negotiate to communicate information in foreign cultures and different fields of study. In addition, the internship program cultivates a cooperative spirit for students to understand different cultures and fields and the cross-disciplinary vision to understand the "interrelationship of knowledge" among different fields based on the solid academic knowledge rooted in one's own culture and specialized field.
