Manufacturing

Nagoya University seeks interaction with the world as a core university in a region with the most advanced cluster of manufacturing industries. To this end, it is proactively engaged in internationalization initiatives, as well as the further strengthening of its research and educational capabilities through a variety of collaborative projects. Its advanced research capabilities have so far produced six Nobel Prize winners for chemistry and physics.

All of Gifu University’s undergraduate faculties and graduate schools are located on the one campus. The university leverages this characteristic in both education and research, providing education focused on the development of human resources with advanced skills and expertise, high-quality research as a foundation for education, and internationalization efforts rooted in the local community. It has established the Gifu University Center for Advanced and Smart Die Engineering Technology as its general research hub for manufacturing
technology, where it conducts research on dies and adjacent areas, and integrated practical education in manufacturing. The aims of this center to use IoT and AI to strengthen the university’s research capabilities based on success in production technology development in the die sector, to promote regional revitalization.

In addition to its contributions to regional development through education and research, Mie University promotes two-way cooperation with the local community. In its research activities in particular, it strives to enhance its diverse and creative applied and basic research and seeks to pass on and further develop its own unique research domains. It is also engaged in general science and groundbreaking international esearch themes.

Nagoya Institute of Technology connects “people,” “knowledge,” and “technology” through its networks with universities and research institutes in Japan and abroad, industry, government, and financial circles. It envisages smiles on people’s faces with new technological value and, through the formation of hubs for communicating to the world, it aims to create innovation and develop global leaders as a comprehensive engineering university.

One of the aims of Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) is to develop its students, many of whom come from technical colleges, into both engineers and researchers who have a high degree of expertise and who possess outstanding technological development skills. TUT also strives to form a hub where industry-academia can meet and promotes collaboration with regional industry through joint research with the private sector and other bodies.
