RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS)
Director: Mikiko Sodeoka (D.Phar.)
Human activities are rapidly pushing the resilience and stability that the Earth system naturally possesses to its limits. To contribute to the harmony between human activities and the Earth system, the Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) is promoting four strategic programs: 'Sustainable Bioproduction', 'Material Circulation and Catalysis', 'Symbiosis and Environment', and 'Advanced Research and Technology Platforms'. CSRS is advancing the development of stress-resistant plants and environmentally friendly crop production technologies, and is engaged in manufacturing that utilizes the power of organisms and catalysts. By collaborating with researchers in the computational science and the prediction science, as well as experts from the humanities and social sciences fields, CSRS aims to bring the achievements of fundamental science to society. Through the power of science, CSRS contributes to solving global challenges toward the realization of a sustainable circular society and preserving the global commons, and opens our future where both the Earth and humanity can live healthily together.
