The Three
Key Points of FCIS

These are three key points of the FCIS, which elucidates society through a true integration of the humanities and sciences.

01

Human culture reveals the true essence of our nature

Culture represents the collective wisdom of humankind, accumulated over countless lifetimes. Decoding and interpreting this wisdom provides important insights that will help us pioneer a better society for the future.

02

Data science serves as the bridge between divergent academic disciplines

Analyzing the wisdom of humankind with data science allows us to extract previously unknown cultural values and elements. It is only by uniting divergent academic fields through data science that we can begin to shape modern society into a more ideal form.

03

The key to developing a better society

The Faculty of Culture and Information Science is a center of knowledge that invites those with diverse ideas and values to learn from one another and co-discover wholly new cultural values and wisdom based on the cultural data they work with. We strive to face social issues with these newfound values in this era of constant change and increasing complexity.
