About the Sustainability Design Center （SDC）
The Osaka University Sustainability Design Center (SDC) was established in October 2007 as an institution-wide Osaka University organization to provide sustainability science education. By collaborating with multiple graduate programs and departments, the center provides graduate students from all parts of Osaka University with the interdisciplinary, cross-university Sustainability Science Education Program, which aims to train people in the core knowledge and practical skills of sustainability science as well as the communication and design skills needed to develop a sustainable society. Through its educational programs, the SDC functions as a platform for sharing people and knowledge within the university and supports and promotes research that encourages taking action toward sustainability.
