As Japan experiences a falling birthrate and a super-aging society, we, at The University of Tokyo, are establishing the Global Nursing Research Center with the aim of promoting important R&D related to Care Innovation and Nursing Systems. Our Center fosters young researchers who engage in transdisciplinary innovative nursing science.
 The GNRC consists of two departments: ‘Care innovation’ and ‘Nursing systems.’ Under the supervision of the director of the GNRC, we engage in research in robotics nursing, biological nursing, imaging nursing, translational nursing, health-quality outcome research, and the care quality management field. In addition, we promote cutting-edge transdisciplinary innovative research, design education courses and curriculums, and develop young researchers.
