Innovation Area Regional Promotion Project (Fukushima Future Innovation Lectures)
Experts involved in the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework speak to young people who will lead Fukushima Prefecture into the future (for Fukushima Prefecture, all districts). These lectures go beyond “raising awareness of the Framework” to offer “opportunities to learn advanced technologies” and “opportunities to understand the potential of Fukushima” with the objective of cultivating from among its attendees “people who will create innovation born in Fukushima” in the future.
With the opportunity to hear from external speakers of various fields, we also aim for a secondary effect of enhancing “exploratory learning”, an aspect that has recently gained importance in schools.

Support for Education and Research at Universities and Colleges
Human Resource Infrastructure Development Project Using Reconstruction Knowledge at Universities (Reconstruction Knowledge Project)
Since the earthquake, education and research efforts by universities inside and outside the prefecture in collaboration with local governments, companies, high schools, and more have been underway in the Hamadori area, where there are few universities or other institutions of higher education, and FIPO has actively supported these efforts.
About the Reconstruction Knowledge Project
In this project, agreements are entered into with municipalities in the Hamadori area to establish bases and provide support for universities conducting education and research in an effort to accumulate and use the knowledge on reconstruction in Fukushima (Reconstruction Knowledge) held by universities and colleges. This five-year project spanning 2021 to 2025 aims to cultivate human resources and contribute to the reconstruction of the Hamadori area through ongoing education and research at universities and other institutions.
21 projects were adopted through public offering, three of which were selected as “Priority Initiatives”.
Innovation Education at Senior High Schools
