Not by personal gain,
but by what truly matters.
Climate change, massive earthquakes—
unpredictable crises cannot be faced by public support alone.
We cultivate genuine leaders capable of building a resilient society.

Disaster Solution Executive Program
In Japan, where natural disasters occur frequently, disaster preparedness that protects human lives is a critical policy area that directly influences the nation’s resilience. However, given the challenges of a declining birthrate, an aging population, and fiscal constraints, it is increasingly difficult to rely solely on public support.
To build a highly resilient society, it is essential to develop and place talented individuals across sectors who can take on the roles of “self-help” and “mutual-help.”
DSEP aims to cultivate leaders capable of realizing a resilient society by offering systematic and cutting-edge courses, and by engaging participants in research projects that address the complex global challenges of our time.
