The Center for Frontier Science (CFS) administers the Frontier Science Program (FSP), which is open to gifted students permitted to enter Chiba University before graduating from high school. The policy of CFS is to encourage talented students to become scientists in the natural sciences, especially physics, chemistry and plant biology, and in engineering and the human sciences. Since we believe that some special measures are needed for this purpose, special seminars for the above five fields are delivered to the CFS students in order to stimulate their interest.
Beside these seminars, some liberal arts seminars are also arranged. CFS also has strong links with high school teachers, and exchanges opinions with them on education systems for young people.
This is not only to seek better educational methods in the FSP, but also to prevent young people from losing their interest in science, which we think is a large problem in the Japanese educational system.
CFS holds omnibus seminars to foster the frontier spirit to challenge a new subject.
The seminars are open to the public, and some of them are given in English.
