Utilizing the expertise of professors and other faculty, our researchers establish “research units” for each research theme, focusing on topics requiring cross-disciplinary examination, and advance research accordingly at the CeMaS.

This “research unit” engages in interdisciplinary and comprehensive research, involving not only professors from the Japan Coast Guard Academy but also, as needed, visiting researchers from external institutions such as other universities and research organizations.
