We are looking for BeCAT partners

Kyushu University's BeCAT (Built Environment Center with Art & Technology) is an educational and research program that combines design and engineering to tackle social issues.
Our goal is not to stop at research, but to work with companies and local governments to advance social implementation and explore the future of sustainable cities and architecture.
We are looking for partners who share this philosophy and will work with BeCAT to shape a new society in two ways.
