Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) is a Japanese national university located in Kansai Science City, a border region spanning Nara, Osaka, and Kyoto prefectures. Founded in 1991, NAIST consisted of graduate schools in three integrated areas: information science, biological sciences, and materials science, conducting world-class research while educating specialists in advanced science and technology. In 2018, NAIST underwent an organizational transformation to continue research in these areas while promoting interdisciplinary research and education across traditional fields. Within this new single graduate school organization, five Education Programs have been established to allow students flexibility to pursue their studies aligned with current trends and societal demands. NAIST strives forward with the objectives of conducting cutting-edge research in frontier areas and training students to become tomorrow's leaders in science and technology.
