Department of Regional Co-creation has two groups: the Regional Co-creation Research Base Promotion Group and the Research and Development Group. The Regional Co-creation Research Base Promotion Group will work alongside local government, universities, industry, and other parties on the building of a venue for co-creation with the local community under the vision of creating a place where everyone in a super-aging society can enjoy good health and a good quality of life, while the Research and Development Group will work under a strong alliance with industry on innovative research activities to address local issues with the goal of achieving this vision.

The Department of Resilient Society is dedicated to addressing societal vulnerabilities to major disaster risks, such as increasingly frequent and severe rainfall disasters and earthquake disasters like the Great East Japan Earthquake, by reducing hazards through a combination of infrastructure enhancements/reinforcement and soft measures such as disaster risk communication.
With the mission of building a truly resilient society, the department aims to collaborate with local governments and businesses to achieve a society capable of disaster response through advanced utilization of digital transformation (DX) by integrating and advancing various fields of disaster prevention, including seismic engineering, river engineering, slope disaster prevention, transportation engineering, infrastructure maintenance, geographic information systems, predictive simulations, and considerations of gender and diversity perspectives.
