grounded in practice by collaborating with international partner 
institutions and research facilities. KMD is planning to expand the 
current multi-location operation to incorporate trans-national 
education. The formal languages are both English and Japanese, thus we

level, and to build and lead a team of graduate students in 
collaborative projects with corporate partnerships. The education will 
be conducted mainly in Yokohama, Japan, with some additional teaching 
and project activities in Japan as well as at the international partner 
locations.
