Abstract
Fostering global leaders for the next generation is an important mission of universities. In Japan, Leading Programs in Doctoral Education (LP) has been implemented in many graduate schools. The main goal of this program is to foster PhDs with deep specialization and peer leadership who will be able to compete well internationally. The Graduate School of Life Science, University of Hyogo is implementing a LP to foster global leaders using cutting-edge technology. They are also trying to create new evaluation criteria of human resource development with their corporate sponsors. The success of LP depends not only on how many graduates can play leading roles globally, but also how university staff can create a superior new evaluation criteria of human resource development and how much it can be shared with universities and industry. Development of students and graduates with a high level of ability takes time, thus it is important to consider the continuous development of LP.

Universities are faced with the challenge of educating students to become global leaders for the generation
During the last two decades, industry and the general public have called for new models of leadership without these features, namely, peer leadership, of which the most distinctive feature is that the skill of leadership can be mastered with training that is not derived from inborn personality and the environment [7,8]
Peer leadership does not require authority, high position, or a charismatic personality; rather, it is a skill that can be acquired by training
Summary
Universities are faced with the challenge of educating students to become global leaders for the generation. To foster excellent students who are both highly creative and internationally attuned and who will play leading roles in global academic, industrial, and governmental sectors, the program brings top-ranking faculty and students together from both within and outside Japan and enlists participation from other sectors in its planning and execution, while creating continuity between master and doctoral programs and implementing curricula that cross over various fields of specialization. The all-around category involves constructing a degree program that uses an integrated arts and sciences model, and pools the university’s collective wisdom to nurture future political, financial, administrative, and academic leaders who will become active in Japan and abroad, and lead global societies.
