Solution Design in Policies and Environments (SDPE) seminar
is a close-knit community with members from all around the world. Under the guidance of Professor Kunieda (Mika-sensei), we study academic fields such as behavioral science and health economics, but also look into practical skills such as project management and stakeholder analysis. Members of the SDPE team have diverse backgrounds in terms of expertise and academic interests. Apart from working on team projects, members are encouraged to initiate individual projects and apply for research grants and/or to external competitions. All students who are eager to make a difference and are early adopters of innovation are welcome to this seminar.
