TohokuUniversity, as a comprehensive educational institution in the center of the disaster area, has the mission to devoteits whole strength and resources for reconstruction. We will create new knowledge and strongly support theregeneration of the region. Based on industry - government - academia cooperation, we will start new businessesand plan to revitalize the region by increasing employment. In addition, Tohoku University will function as an enginefor knowledge, a striving force pulling out Japan from its economic stagnation. We already promote various projectsfor reconstruction and regeneration at the“Institute for Disaster Reconstruction and Regeneration Research”which was established shortly after the great earthquake disaster, the“International Research Institute for DisasterScience”and the newly established“Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization”. In the future we will construct acooperative network system not only stretching over Japan but the whole world.Responsibility for Creating the FutureI believe that Tohoku University will be ahead of our time, creating the future and by that positioning itself inhistory.
