What is Academic Research
Academic Research is an activity to explore the frontier of knowledge. There is a variety of “known areas” as a result of research and experimentation throughout our collective human history. However, there are still vast “unknown areas” in the periphery.

Academic research is a knowledge creation activity that pushes the frontier of knowledge. It is often a painstakingly difficult task. However, by pushing into the unknown, we are finally able to pioneer new fields and share knowledge widely with others. Thus, academic research is a creative practice involving the production of meaningful and value-added results that remain unknown or unpracticed.
One of our criteria for “good research” is that the person conducting the research must be interested in the topic, and must be passionate, and enthusiastic about it. Furthermore, the research must lead to academic significance and social value. Academic significance means that the research adds new knowledge to existing academic research and studies, and social value means that it brings added value to society and others in the present and future. Conversely, personal interest in something that “interests me” alone does not constitute “good research” (this is what leads to the difficulty of Individual Research).

The advantage of a grade-mix, multi-person research project
It is difficult for a single person to conduct difficult and arduous academic research alone. Therefore, at the Iba Lab, combining our respective strengths together, we form a team of several people and conduct the research as a project. In addition, instead of worrying in solitude, we can progress while discussing things with project members. It is very reassuring to have teammates who are working together.
