The Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) is located in Musashino, Tokyo. It has a history stretching back to 1874, when its predecessor organizations¡ªthe Agricultural Training Institute (the foundation for the Faculty of Agriculture) and Silkworm Disease Experiment Section (the foundation for the Faculty of Engineering)¡ªare included. The present TUAT was established as a university in 1949. Since its founding, TUAT has followed a course focusing on agricultural science and engineering¡ªthe two academic fields supporting agriculture and industry, which form the backbone of human society¡ªwhile also coming to encompass a wide range of related fields, and has grown into a distinguished university of science and technology unparalleled throughout the country.
The fundamental philosophy of the university is that we must directly address all obstacles to the goal of becoming a sustainable society that have manifested in the society and technology of the twentieth century and contribute to the development of science and technology that is in harmony with world peace, society, and the natural environment through education and research founded on free thinking in the fields of agricultural science, engineering, and interdisciplinary fields while striving to produce the people and knowledge for overcoming these obstacles and achieving this goal. We are championing this fundamental philosophy with the expression "MORE SENSE: Mission Oriented Research and Education Giving Synergy in Endeavors toward a Sustainable Earth." Having clearly expressed our nature and function, we are working diligently to solve the challenges that humanity faces in the twenty-first century.
