About Tokyo Tech

Tokyo Tech Academy for Super Smart Society

In modern social revolutions (thermodynamics + heat engine = the industrial revolution; information science + computer = the information revolution; etc.), advanced science (physics, information science, etc.) and innovative engineering (mechanical, electric/electronics engineering) have inspired paradigm shifts in society. To realize a super smart society, which is also called the upcoming fifth social revolution, it is essential to integrate physical space technologies developed since the industrial revolution such as machinery, electricity, and construction with cyber space technologies developed since the information revolution. Additionally, advanced sciences and technologies such as quantum science and artificial intelligence must be fused.

The Tokyo Tech Academy for Super Smart Society (WISE-SSS) offers a degree program that integrates masters and doctoral courses. The integrated program aims to train super-skilled PhD graduates with technical and professional knowledge so that they can lead a sector in industry-government-academia to realize a super smart society based on quantum science.
