President's Message
On April 1, 2022, I had the honor of being appointed Executive Trustee /Vice Chancellor of Tokai National Higher Education and Research System(THERS) and the 13th President of Gifu University.
In this important juncture of the beginning of a six-year “Fourth Mid-Term
Objectives and Plan” set by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Scienceand Technology (MEXT) of Japan, Dr. Seiichi Matsuo (THERS Chancellor), Dr.
Naoshi Sugiyama (President of Nagoya University), and I are fully committed topursuing our shared goals of achieving dynamic, robust growth and greater
academic excellence between our two institutions implemented under the newframework which brought us together as a single corporate entity in April 2020.
This year marks the third anniversary since the establishment of this joint
entity, THERS whose creation has facilitated a deeper engagement in a wider
range of joint educational and research projects. I would like to take thisopportunity to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the outgoing president Dr.
Hisataka Moriwaki, the 12th President of Gifu University for his remarkable efforts
in successfully launching THERS and strengthening the University’s national andinternational presence and pride.
The institutional motto, “Regions for the world, and the world for the regions”
serves as our crucial guiding principle to help us navigate through the New
Normal. This motto sums up our belief that individual undertakings that contributeto the well-being of local citizens can pave the way towards attaining global
competitiveness. The execution of the “Startup Visions” consisting of the following
three objectives is instrumental in achieving this goal: (1) provide world-classeducation for our students, (2) consolidate knowledge through carrying out thestate-of-the-art research initiatives, and (3) contribute to the international
community and co-create local communities by addressing diverse social andbusiness agendas.
As “a hub for knowledge integration and human resource development,”
Gifu University has been reinforcing its academic and research prowess andclosely collaborating with the community and private sector. We have also beenplaying an integral role in creating a future-oriented society right here in thecentral Tokai region through fulfilling our educational and research ambitions,collaborating with different segments of society, and promoting internationalization
as the nation’s center for community revitalization and engagement.
Under the university’s ideals and aims of “Learning, Exploring, andContributing,” we are committed to ensuring an environment where young talents
can learn, explore and contribute in their respective fields of expertise for the
pursuit of growth and personal dreams.
The Academic Central for English and Mathematical Data Scienceeducation jointly operated by our two universities focuses on cultivation of humanresources who are capable of “creating a human-centered society that balances
economic advancement with the resolution of social problems by a system thathighly integrates cyberspace and physical space (Society 5.0).” We are convincedthat our unique, distinctive educational curriculums can serve the best interests ofour students in building their own future with strong commitment and courage.
Additionally, the University is currently placing a strong emphasis on the distinct
fields of liberal arts, mathematical data science, and design thinking. In design
thinking, students learn how to become proactive in developing their research
agenda, enhancing their problem-solving skills, and evaluating the efficacy andeconomic potentials and feasibility of different solutions reached.
While embracing our tenets of “attaining global competence” and“community co-creation” as the “two wheels of a cart,” the advancement of
THERS’ four core educational and research directives has witnessed fast-paced
progress. These directives are namely: Institute for Glyco-core Research(iGCORE), Aerospace Research and Education Hub (AREH), Center for
Healthcare Information Technology (C-HiT), and Education and Research Institutefor Agricultural Sciences. We await with eager anticipation that the roll out of these
new strong initiatives by Gifu University will eventually produce many outstanding
results and achievements through the fruits of long endeavors.

Our major mission for social contributions and promotion ofinternationalization is to transform the University as an academic catalyst forsocietal alliance and collaboration among industry-academia-government, and to
give back the benefits of these achievements to the community. In addition, by
engaging in world-class research initiatives, we seek to build a sustainable,
productive cycle of contribution to society. In this respect, by enforcing the “Tokai
Project to Renovate Area Chubu into Tech Innovation Smart Society (TOKAIPRACTISS)”, THERS can be a driving force for international and local community
co-creation. The full implementation of the Fourth Mid-Term Objectives and Plan
by MEXT is imperative for achieving the ultimate goals of social contributions andinternationalization among THERS’ stakeholders.
In our efforts to embody the new mission of “Migration, Laboratory,
Innovation, Education,” Gifu University is pushing forth the five objectives of“Human Resource Developments,” “Food Manufacturing,” “Product
Manufacturing,” “Creation of Businesses and Community-Building,” and“Development of New Medical System.” Community co-creation, pioneeringresearch projects, innovations and strategic education promotion schemes will
make it possible to further expand our educational and research boundaries andbolster our community contributions. Nurturing the next-generation humanresources capable of translating our goals and ideals into reality is admittedly adaunting challenge in these days of globalization and rapidly aging society inJapan, but we are engaged in partnering with our students’ journey in learning,
exploring and contributions towards the realization of their dreams and ambitions.
I sincerely hope that a talent pool arising from our university can create theconditions in society where all its citizens can lead fulfilling, rewarding lives in theirown communities at home and abroad.
I call upon all of you to collaborate with us as academic and professional
partners in generating and inspiring policy ideas that fulfill the heart of theuniversity’s future goals and missions.

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, orthopedic surgery for companion animals,
and farm animal medicine. In one year, about 11,000 cases are being treated at the departments of internal medicine, surgery,oncology, anesthesiology and neurology, orthopedic surgery from referrals from private hospitals in the Tokai, Kinki and Hokuriku
regions. At the same time, the department of farm animals plays an important role in the medical care of farm animals in Gifu area.

Center for Japanese Language and Culture

As a “core for regional revitalization,” the Center for Collaborative Study with
Community seeks to be a region-based university. The Center’s priority agendas
to work for the benefits of local communities are as follows:・Fostering next-generation regional leaders who are well-versed in community
affairs, capable of finding and contributing to solutions of regional issues (“NextGeneration Regional Leader Fostering Program”)
・Promotion of research to resolve regional problems (region-oriented research
program), and・Creation of a “place for dialogue and co-creation” for Gifu University and local
citizens to talk and discuss possible solutions to regional issues, and co-create
new value (“Gifu Future Center”).
In addition, the Center has established the Gifu Center for collaborative activities
between communities and schools (GIFU CCCS) jointly with Gifu Prefecture tofoster coordinators or “social education supervisors”, and implements senior highschool and university cooperation projects together with Gifu Prefecture and Gifu
Prefectural Board of Education,
In order to promote these activities, we have built the relationship of municipal
governments, educational organizations, communities, financial institutions, civicorganizations, and so on, and serves as a liaison among them.

The Center for Japanese Language and Culture educates international students
in Japanese language and culture and Japanese students in international
understanding. The center plays an important role in the university’s
internationalization initiatives with a special focus on the promotion of intercultural
exchange among students. To this end, the center provides cross-culturalcommunication programs in general education courses for both Japanese andinternational students. The Exchange Lounge in the center serves as a venue forinterchange between Japanese and international students; a wide range ofactivities including learning, academic support by student monitors, andinformation gathering and distribution for studying abroad are organized there.

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.
