Introduction Fujii Laboratory has been working on research topics of application of various techniques of system analyses, such as mathematical programming and statistical analyses. The concrete objects are the planning of energy systems, analysis and evaluation of energy policies and related technologies. Systems analysis, which is the principal academic basis of our laboratory, is one of the fields of applied mathematics, and it does not have the academic base in the so-called pure natural science, such as physics and chemistry. In some sense, systems analysis does not seem to be very reliable and dependable. Therefore, those who aspire after systems analysis also often need to consider the purpose and significance of their research topics, not only from technical viewpoints, but also from socio-economic ones. Since we try to find the solutions for the energy problems ranging over 100 years and for the social system which is not realized yet, we welcome students who have broad interests in research topics of social sciences as well as engineering, and students who have a strong imagination to consider global issues of our far future offsprings. Concrete works in the laboratory are data analyses on international energy and economic statistics, and computer program development for mathematical optimization programming and system simulation. Students are given detailed guidance for their respective research topics through the periodic small group meetings with the supervisor. There are some research topics conducted in cooperation with various external institutions, although we also have our own original ones for basic studies.
