Ishikawa and Kanazawa
Ishikawa prefecture is famous for its beautiful four seasons, rich tradition and history, hotsprings, and exceptional food of land and sea resulting in famous gourmet culture. Satoyama in
Noto Peninsula is an Agricultural World Heritage registered by UNESCO. (Satoyama means“local mountain area,” and it is an ecosystem in which human civilization and local biodiversity
coexist in harmony.)①②③⑦⑧3④⑤⑥① Senmaida(1,000 rice terraces) / ② Shirayama-Hime Shrine(Hakusan worship) / ③ Kanazawa Castle /④ Hyakumangoku Festival / ⑤ Metal Gold Leaf (Traditional Art) / ⑥ Kenroku-en Garden / ⑦ KirikoFestival (giant lanterns) / ⑧ Mt. Hakusan

Kanazawa University Alumni Association in Thailand was established on August 23, 2014. The Foundation Party took
place in Bangkok, and Former President Koetsu Yamazaki and other delegates participated. The event was attended by 8
honorable guests from Thai universities and the Embassy of Japan in Thailand, as well as 31 alumni and their company.
There is much anticipation for further exchanges through the network of the association.

Research Projects & EventAs part of the Japanese government’s Moonshot Program — which tracks social and other issues through innovative
research — Kanazawa University’s teams are struggling with some agendas.

KAGAYAKI AWARD

Development of Highly Efficient Direct Air
Capture (DAC) and Carbon Recycling
Technologies

Kanazawa University presents the Kagayaki Award, a research contest for Thai highschool students. The award provides an opportunity for high school students topresent their research and receive awards. In 2023, 124 teams participated and thisyear, in 2024, the event will be held on December 14 at the Knowledge Exchangefor Innovation Center, one of Kanazawa University’s liaison offices in Bangkok.
Come and see the enthusiastic presentation by Thai high school students!

Already, exhaust fumes hotter than 500°C from industrial activities are
sometimes repurposed for uses such as electricity generation. But the heatfrom cooler exhaust fumes typically goes to waste. One of Kanazawa
University’s research groups challenges to capture this industrial exhaust
heat energy that is currently wasted and harness it to power carbon capture
technology. For contributing to “Green Growth Strategy Through Achieving
Carbon Neutrality in 2050”, this research team tries to achieve aninnovative TSA(Temperature Swing Adsorption) process in collaborationwith R＆D on sorption materials, carbon conversions, or combustion
technology, inside and outside Kanazawa University.

Research on children with developmental
disabilities using infant MEG
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects children’s social and intellectual
development. Conventional diagnostic methods for ASD rely on behavioral
observation. Kanazawa University’s team hopes to visualize children’s
neurodiversity with magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measuresmagnetic fields arising from electrical currents in the brain, and attempt toevaluate ASD using it. The researchers try to help cultivate an environment forneurodiverse people to tap into their strengths and realize an environment
where everyone can grow up keeping their innate curiosity, thereby creating asociety filled with active motivation and originality.
