President's
Message

The National University Corporation Gifu University continues to be aplace where people gather to grow, learn, explore, and contribute. These
principles have been passed down to the present to underlie our existence andwill also be passed on to the future. Based on these principles and targeting theyear 2021 of Period III Mid-Term Objectives and Plan, Gifu University will
become a core for regional revitalization and an international as well as national
education and research hub in fields where the university has particularstrengths and distinguishing characteristics. Included among such fields are thelife sciences, environ-energy sciences, next-generation manufacturing, andmedical education.
Gifu University is a mid-sized university with five faculties, four master’s
programs, one professional degree program, two doctoral programs, two united
graduate schools and one joint graduate school. With the relocation of theschool of medicine and university hospital in 2004, all faculties and schools are
now located on a single campus. In addition, buildings and research facilities forfourth through sixth year students of Gifu Pharmaceutical University moved onto
the same campus. In addition, the Gifu Disaster Mitigation Center opened in
April 2015, and the Gifu Central Livestock Hygiene Service Center and theMuseum of Infrastructure started their operations in 2017. The Innovation Hub
for Smart Mold Processing was launched in 2018 and the Gifu Prefectural
Research Institute for Food Sciences opened in April 2019. Furthermore, theIntelligent Production Technology Research & Development Center for
Aerospace are moving forward. Such efforts will be made to further strengthen
our functions, particularly those related to advanced education and research.
Please refer to the Campus Map on page 44 and 45 to see where each facility is
located. Being able to study at a single campus in the suburbs with abundantnature is an attractive feature of Gifu University.
On the other hand, we are fully aware that the university is in an urban
area and a large number of students return to the city center every day. Many
students and employees have pointed out that commuting to the university is
inconvenient. (It takes about 30 minutes from Gifu Station even during off-peakhours.) We responded to this situation and requests by constructing a satellite
campus near the station. We have leased the fourth floor of the east wing of Gifu
Skywing 37, a two-wing 37-floor high-rise building located in front of JR Gifu
Station, and established a new education section in October 2012. It is fully
equipped with IT facilities. They are not only used by Gifu University, but sharedby the 23 member schools of the Gifu Network University Consortium(universities, junior colleges, and technical colleges). This satellite is also open
for general public seminars and corporate events if the purpose conforms to theaims of the campus. In fact, they have been extensively used, including on
weekends. Furthermore, the Gifu University Satellite Campus Open Course
Academic Club, which is given by professors emeritus of the university, was also
launched in April 2016. This is a series of course for the general public that havea strong academic and cultural interests. It has already become a highly popular
open lecture among citizens today.
What direction is Gifu University moving on? The various faculties andteaching staff have continually worked hard to make the university a place where
people learn and grow and where human resources with high levels ofprofessional expertise are developed. Recently, we have had major success in
becoming a national model through various activities ranging from local
community work, to international efforts. These have included becoming a
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Center forCommunity (COC), creating advanced type COC+ projects, both of which haveattained the highest evaluation of “S” for Gifu University, and further extensive
COC+II projects , forming an agricultural science consortium consisting of 16
universities in South Asia (IC-GU12: International Consortium of Universities inSouth and Southeast Asia for the Doctoral Education in Agricultural Science andBiotechnology), and creating an international engineering network of 44
universities. The university also offers various courses including a “Program to
Develop Human Resources with Expertise in Dies,” a “Maintenance Expert
Fostering Program” for maintenance and operation of infrastructure, a“Professional Degree Program” for highly-professional personnel in school
administration, an Emergency Medical Network Development Program, and an
International Studies in Liberal Arts. We consider that our duty is to further raise
Gifu University’s presence not only in Central Japan areas, but also throughout
Japan and overseas and to win even greater praise from students, theirguardians, local residents and taxpayers through these efforts.
While we take great pride in this work, we fully understand the importanceof continually examining whether our education and research activities meet theneeds of not only the local community and Japan, but also the international
community. Among these various efforts, the global expansion of the university
is of particular importance. We will continue to increase exchanges between

universities to make it possible to accept more than the 400 international
students who are studying at the university now. Additionally, our goals are toascertain the various needs (problems faced) in regions where Gifu University
students study, to conduct research and study and develop solutions to these
problems, and in this way to truly make contributions overseas. To this end, we
started the four Joint Degree Programs for Master’s and Doctoral Degree withoverseas universities in 2019. As this new initiative is manifesting itself, we firmly
believe that it is important to undertake internationalization rooted in local
communities and provide “glocal” services that provide local communities inJapan and overseas with the benefits from those efforts. We use the same
approach for other activities that contribute to local communities in Japan andconsider this the essence of our COC, COC+ and COC+II projects.
Governance provided by the university president and board members
establishes a think tank function to help achieve our goals. It can be viewed asproviding guidance and making proposals. We can foresee that glocalization of
the university will occur as we strive to reach our goals with a carefully
developed point of view. Let us all work together to move forward with these
efforts.
At the end of my message, allow me to refer to a new framework that willbring two national universities under a single corporation. Gifu University will be
integrated with Nagoya University in April 2020 to form the Tokai National Higher
Education and Research System, Gifu University. Under the new system, thetwo universities will jointly administer and manage operations as a single
institution of higher education and research. Under the new name, Gifu
University will facilitate consistent and steady development of the management
and functions of the system with Nagoya University at every stage of theintegration. Among others, general education, mathematical data science, life
science and intelligent production technology research and development foraerospace are considered to play a pivotal role in realizing substantive
integration in the years to come. We are bracing ourselves for taking up a newchallenge to put this unprecedented initiative in the history of higher education to
the path to success.

Learning,
Exploring,andContributing

IdealsBlessed with abundant nature and referred to as the country of seiryu(clear water), for historical and geographical reasons, the Gifu region
has developed and passed down a diverse culture and technology thatbrought eastern and western cultures together. Having inherited these
attributes from the Gifu region, Gifu University trains students, who will
later actively participate in society. We provide a place where students
learn, explore, and contribute in an environment conducive to explorationand growth. The university has adopted the principle that it is an integral
part of a local community, serving as an institution that learns, explores,
and contributes.
Applying the distinguishing feature of having all undergraduate andgraduate programs located on a single campus for educational andresearch activities, Gifu University provides an education focused on
training highly skilled professionals. We are committed to conducting highquality research that is the foundation of that education and to achieving
internationalization rooted in the local community. As a core hub for
reinvigorating local communities, the university also plays a role in regional
revitalization through such efforts as providing local communities with thebenefits derived from the above activities.

In March 2018, the Hospital was additionallydesignated as a nuclear emergency core hospital, and an allergy disease core hospital in May 2018.
The Department of Human Cancer Genome and the Department for Children and Adolescents andYoung Adults opened at the Hospital’s Cancer Center in July 2018 for the purpose of seeking newcancer treatments through clinical and therapeutic trials, and giving support to patients and theirfamilies. The Hospital has also built an extensive network with other cancer hospitals and clinics within
Gifu Prefecture, playing a significant role as a base for cancer treatment that offers specialized
examinations and medications to patients (e.g. preservation of fertility functions for young patients,
examinations for hereditary cancer, etc.).

University Hospital

The ultimate goals of the Hospital are to meet the needs of society and respond to ever-growing
demands for better medical care from the public. With the safety and security of people and society

■ Animal Medical Center
The Animal Medical Center is the only facility dedicated to veterinary education, research, and treatment in the Chubu region. In
response to the increasing need for veterinary practices in recent years and to provide advanced medical treatment that pet owners
expect, a new clinical ward and Linac Center were built onto the Animal Medical Center in April 2010 as well as the MRI Ward in April
2012. The Center’s new clinical ward has private consultation rooms, a positive pressure surgery room which can also be used forbrain surgery, and an intensive-care unit. It is an advanced facility equipped with electronic medical charts and diagnostic imagining
units. The Linac Center was the first of its kind at a Japanese national university to have a high-energy radiation LINAC (linear
accelerator) treatment system, and the MRI Ward was likewise the first to have an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) system. The
Center’s specialties are internal medicine, surgery, oncology, anesthesiology and neurology for companion animals, and farm animal
medicine. In one year, about 8,200 cases are being treated at the departments of internal medicine, surgery, oncology, anesthesiology
and neurology from referrals from private hospitals in the Tokai, Kinki and Hokuriku regions. At the same time, the department of farmanimals plays an important role in the medical care of farm animals in Gifu area.

Gifu University strives to foster a carefully defined set of fundamental abilities in students through all educational activities, together withspecialized skills on the part of each faculty and graduate school in accordance with its Diploma Policy, Curriculum Policy, and Admission
Policy, which collectively govern all of the University’s activities. To encourage each student to take a proactive approach to his or her
education, we are committed to (1) enhancing structures that support learning from admission to graduation, as well as structures that support
student life; (2) continually verifying that our undergraduate and graduate programs accord with our three aforementioned primary policies andstriving to improve the University’s structures; and (3) increasing the University’s overall educational capabilities so as to more effectively
maximize each faculty’s potential. To achieve these goals, it is essential that we take a broad view of the entire University’s educational
activities when planning programs, working to improve each faculty and graduate school’s educational activities, and implementing mechanisms
to support student learning. The Organization for Promotion of Higher Education and Student Support (ORPHESS) is characterized by acommitment to bring faculties, graduate schools, and student staff together in dialog and collaboration in order to achieve the goals describedabove. ORPHESS was launched in December 2013 with staff members drawn from a variety of departments at the University.

■ Educational Reform Initiatives
In an effort to advance reform in the educational sector, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology selects
and supports initiatives of an exceptional and distinctive character pursued by universities in the competitive environment of higher
education. Gifu University has actively applied for the government programs and received recognition from the government.

The objective of the program is to attract people, who play a central role in regional revitalization, to local communities by creating
appealing workplaces for students and supporting efforts by universities to boldly undertake curriculum reforms necessary to train
the human resources needed by local communities through collaboration between universities, local public entities and corporations.
Striving to become a university that is an integral part of the local communities, Gifu University is using the current COC program
to move forward with efforts to train local community–oriented human resources who work to resolve issues faced by local
communities and who can play an active role as local community leaders by making use of their specialization. However, there is a
net population outflow from Gifu Prefecture, and this is particularly true for workers in their 20s, many of whom move to Aichi
Prefecture for work, and there is a need to train human resources that understand the appeal of companies in Gifu and cancontribute to revitalizing local industries by settling down in local communities.
Therefore, working with entities such as local governments and companies in Gifu and strengthening relationships with local
industries, Gifu University promotes local employment and the return of jobs to the local area and contribute to local revitalization
through several activities. The universities train students who meet the needs of local industries by offering a three-step education
program (1. Listen and see, 2. Take on challenges, and 3. Play an active role). The efforts are centered on internships and common
educational programs with not only universities in Gifu, but also the current COC program universities in Aichi. Gifu University also
promotes job creation through several activities such as expanding programs using industry-government-academia joint research.
