Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere

The Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) was established at Kyoto University on April 1, 2004 by combining and expanding two previously existing organizations, the Wood Research Institute (WRI) and the Radio Science Center for Space and Atmosphere (RASC). Defining the regions vital to human existence as Humanosphere, RISH proposes its primary purposes as to assess and evaluate the current and future conditions of Humanosphere as well as to provide solutions to the problems which this Humanosphere is facing with.
