利用九州大学在亚洲和大洋洲开展研究和教育活动的悠久历史，在历史和邻近方面都与九州大学建立了深厚的联系，研究人员于2019年4月成立了九州大学亚洲和大洋洲研究所，作为这些研究和教育机构中的第二个。通过该研究所，他们的目标是创建一个新的学术领域，通过解决当今的问题和预测明天将面临的问题，为解决亚洲和大洋洲国家的社会问题做出贡献，从而开辟未来。

该研究所将通过联合国设定的2016年至2030年国际目标可持续发展目标（SDG）作为首先要解决的最紧迫问题。为了促进解决这些问题的研究，他们将与九州大学跨学科能源研究平台合作，该平台已经在探索与能源相关的可持续发展目标，并打破人文、社会学、科学、技术和生命科学之间的障碍，共同努力实现这些目标。此外，根据面临这些问题的国家和地区的需求，他们将与现场人员一起识别、解决、缓解和预测问题。

基于解决亚洲和大洋洲问题将导致解决世界问题的信念，该研究所与整个学院一起促进跨学科和合作的研究和教育活动。

Taking advantage of Kyushu University's long history of conducting research and educational activities in Asia and Oceania, and establishing deep ties with Kyushu University both historically and proximity, researchers established the Kyushu University Institute of Asia and Oceania as the second of these research and educational institutions in April 2019. Through this institute, they aim to create a new academic field that will open up the future by contributing to solving social problems in Asian and Oceanian countries by solving today's problems and anticipating the problems that will be faced tomorrow.

The institute adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), an international goal set by the United Nations for 2016 to 2030, as the most pressing issue to be addressed first. To facilitate research to address these issues, they will collaborate with Kyushu University's Interdisciplinary Energy Research Platform, which is already exploring energy-related sustainable development goals and breaking down barriers between humanities, sociology, science, technology, and life sciences to work together to achieve them. In addition, based on the needs of countries and regions facing these issues, they will work with field personnel to identify, resolve, mitigate, and anticipate problems.

Based on the belief that solving problems in Asia and Oceania will lead to solving world problems, the Institute promotes interdisciplinary and collaborative research and educational activities together with the entire Faculty.
