Greeting from the President
As the President of Nagoya University, I offer you my most sincere greetings.
I assumed the post of President in April 2009, and this year will be my final one.
Throughout its history, Nagoya University has done its utmost to maintain a free andvibrant academic culture. As an educational institution, we aim to cultivate what wecall “courageous intellectuals”: social contributors endowed with the powers ofrational thought and creative imagination. Today, we are taking new steps to
become a globalized university where students are able to acquire comprehensive
knowledge, develop personal ethics, and aspire to international careers.
This year, we have set ourselves the challenge of addressing the “Super Global
University” initiative. This initiative has three main aims. First, to expand the G30
program, which began in October 2011 and offers degree programs taught entirely
in English. Second, to establish satellite campuses in Asia, which we will be the firstamong Japanese universities to attempt, and begin offering doctoral programs
aimed at high-ranking administrators. Over the past 20 years, Nagoya University haslaid stress on fostering outstanding human resources in Asia. As a result, NU
graduates are currently playing key roles at vice-ministerial and director-generallevel in many countries. The majority of these students, who studied in Japan withthe support of JICA, returned to their home countries after finishing their master’s
programs. Although many of them would like to continue their education further,
it is difficult for them to study for a doctoral program because they play such animportant role in their country's government. Nagoya University hopes to offer an
opportunity for these talented people to continue their research, utilizing teaching
locally and in Japan, making full use of ICT for distance learning and researchsupervision, and letting students publish papers in international journals, thereby
conferring doctoral degrees upon them. In the near future, they will contribute
further to their countries with doctoral degrees from NU. The third aim is to have
Nagoya University become an Asian hub university. The main purpose of
establishing satellite campuses in Asia is to strengthen the relationships between
key Asian universities, as bases to which our Japanese students can be dispatched
and as points to strengthen collaboration with outstanding Asian universities.
This is to be my final year, and I would like to contribute as much as possible to thedevelopment of Nagoya University.
I cordially invite you to join us at Nagoya and explore the “traditional” free andvibrant academic culture in the very central part of exciting Japan.

Producing a New Light Source for the 21st Century
Thinking it would be too difficult to realize within the 20th century, many researchers
abandoned development of high-performance blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
However, University Professor Isamu Akasaki remained steadfast in his research for
20 years. In 1989, he succeeded in becoming the first to achieve the goal of producing
a new light source for the 21st century.

Dr. Isamu AKASAKI

Professor Akasaki achieved this by using the compound gallium nitride (GaN),
revolutionizing the field of semiconductor research. Blue LEDs offer immeasurable
benefits to society, and are utilized today in a wide range of technologies such as
traffic lights, large-scale display monitors, next-generation optical memory discs,
and even home lighting. The applicability of GaN and related semiconductors does
not end with its use in light sources. It is also expected that they can be applied tosuch technologies as ultra high-speed, high-power transistors and UV detectors,
which will be indispensable in an IT-based society.
During his life as a researcher, Professor Akasaki held fast to his idea that “Once you’ve
resolved to accomplish something, never give up.”Among the many awards he has received, in 2004, in honor of the research results
he achieved with such unwavering resolve, he was recognized as a Person of Cultural
Merit by the Japanese government for his significant contributions to culture.

Nobel Prize in Physics, 2008
In October 2008, the Academy announced its award of the Nobel Prize in Physics tothree esteemed scientists: Yoichiro Nambu (USA), and Nagoya University graduates
Toshihide Maskawa, a Distinguished Invited University Professor at Nagoya University,
professor emeritus at Kyoto University, and professor of physics at Kyoto Sangyo
University, and Makoto Kobayashi, professor emeritus at the High Energy Accelerator
Research Organization (KEK). The two Nagoya University scientists received the Nobel

Prize for forecasting, over three decades ago, “the discovery of the origin of the broken
symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature.”
In 1972, the two presented their Kobayashi-Maskawa theory, which states that CP
symmetry violation can be explained with six types of quarks, one of the subatomic
particles that constitute matter. This theory was proved in 1995 with the discovery of
the sixth quark, known as the top quark. Among the numerous theories attempting
to explain CP symmetry violation, the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory remains the mostconcise and well-formed, and today is one of the key components of the standard
model of particle physics.
Professor Maskawa graduated from Nagoya University’s School of Science in 1962.
After completing his doctoral course in science in 1967, he continued his career as a
research associate in the science department, then as a professor of the Institute of
Nuclear Study at the University of Tokyo and later as a professor at Kyoto University’s

Due to recent advances in health care, the rate of mortality from infectious disease indeveloping countries has been improving. On the other hand, mortality from all formsof malignant neoplasms, including gastrointestinal cancer, has become a major problem
worldwide. Early diagnosis is critical in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, but there
are many patients who do not receive the appropriate medical care because of a shortageof doctors who are qualified to perform a gastrointestinal endoscopy. In order to solve thisproblem, the training of doctors is an important issue. Japanese gastrointestinal endoscopy
techniques are among the most advanced in the world, and this is useful for the early
diagnosis and treatment of various digestive diseases. The “Nagoya Endoscopy Training
Center” was opened at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Vietnam in September
2013, for the purpose of disseminating the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment techniquesthat have been developed by Nagoya University School of Medicine's Department of
Gastroenterology and Hepatology to Asian countries. This Center boasts state-of-the-art
endoscopy systems, and many young doctors can receive instruction on the techniquesof endoscopic diagnosis and treatment here as well as at Nagoya University itself. The
Center offers two courses, basic and advanced, according to participants' English levels.
The doctors who study at this Center can provide the highest quality care in diagnosis andtreatment by gastrointestinal endoscopy. This is the first step to promote the possibilitiesof the gastrointestinal endoscopy techniques originating in Japan to Asian countries andto contribute to the improvement of their health care. We are planning to set up an Asian
network of endoscopy centers and expand this project to other cities such as Hanoi and Ho
Chi Minh City, as well as further to other countries. Our President Hamaguchi and Professor
Maskawa, the Nobel Prize laureate, visited Nagoya Endoscopy Training Center at Hue andbelieve that it will become the one of the best training centers in Asia. Nagoya Endoscopy
Training Center, supported by Nagoya University School of Medicine’s Department of
Gastroenterology and Hepatology, is central to the treatment and diagnosis of digestive
diseases and contributes to health care worldwide.

CALE was established in 2002 as a research base for Asian Law and a coordinating center
for Japanese research and practice on legal assistance in Asia. It has been expanding its
cooperation activities into several countries in Asia, and remains the only center within
a Japanese university to be professionally involved with legal assistance research andimplementation projects. The Center is committed to playing a major role in carrying out
legal assistance projects centering on Asia, disclosing research outcomes related to thoseprojects, disseminating research and legal information on countries in Asia, and expanding
the network of specialists within this field.
The Center’s legal assistance activities include cooperation with developing countries which
are making the transition to a market economy, to assist them in promoting the necessaryreform of their legal systems and enable them to achieve a working market economy, therule of law, human rights, and democracy. Activities in the field include the following:• Cooperating in the drafting of laws and promoting judicial system reform• Cooperating in the consolidation of legal infrastructure such as the improvement of maintenanceand access to legal and judicial information.
• Cooperating in human resources development in the judicial sector

Establishment of centers for research and education in the field of law
Eight centers have been established jointly by Nagoya University and partner universities inseven Asian transitional countries – Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar,
Indonesia, and Laos, where the Japanese government is implementing legal assistanceprojects, and where local legal experts with sufficient knowledge and understanding ofJapanese law and language are becoming indispensable. Some of these centers provide
law students in partner universities with knowledge of Japanese Law through the Japanese
language, to foster experts who can contribute to their own country’s legal development in
the future by benefiting from Japanese knowledge and experience.
These centers are designed as a central point of dissemination of information about Japaneselaw, and as a hub for the collection and sharing of information about the laws of these countries.
They are also aimed at facilitating research on both comparative and country-focused topics,
and to coordinate joint research projects between academic and professional institutions of
the two countries in order to enhance deeper mutual understanding between professionals
and to promote expert knowledge on the law and society of these Asian countries.

The International Cooperation Center for Agricultural Education (ICCAE) is a research
institute mandated to function as a leading center for international cooperation in agricultural
education. It was established in April 1999, at Nagoya University, under the initiative of the
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan.
In developing countries, many problems related to agriculture (for example, food shortages,
downturns in agricultural production, poverty, environmental devastation, and animal-borne
infectious diseases) have yet to be solved by the international community. To solve these
global-scale issues, it is important to develop appropriate agricultural technologies while
paying careful attention to socioeconomic impact, effective use of natural resources, andrespect for the environment. In both developing countries and Japan, the development of
human resources is a pressing issue. In recent years, the need for international cooperation
to overcome these problems and to facilitate human resources development has increased.
Japan has been expected to work actively to resolve these issues.
To respond to such expectations, ICCAE was established by the MEXT of Japan at Nagoya
University. ICCAE’s goal is to become a leading center for international cooperation to help
solve problems in agricultural and rural development in developing countries.
