“Intensive Program on Sustainability –
IPoS”, a challenge under the AGS to develop an Asian regional
educational program on sustainability, started in 2004 through the
collaboration between The University of Tokyo (UT) and the Asian
Institute of Technology (AIT). Sustainability is a key concept for
the 21st century leading to development of an environment-friendly
society. Understanding of this concept is especially important for
rapidly expanding Asian economies. IPoS provides an opportunity for
students (especially from Asian nations) to obtain a deeper
appreciation for sustainable development in the Asian region. In
this program, participants lodge together for about two weeks, study
through experience-based learning that includes workshops, field
visits, and lectures, and cultivate friendship across different
nationalities and academic backgrounds.
A unique aspect of
this program is its focus on Asia as the key region in achieving
global sustainability. On the one hand, solutions to Asia’s regional
problems are an essential requisite for global sustainability. On
the other hand, Asian traditions and perspectives should be
introduced to other parts of the world and contribute to global
sustainability more widely. IPoS is a challenge to develop an
educational program that enables such goals.
