Vice President
Director of Academic
Research & Industry-Academia-Government

The universities of today and tomorrow must play a leading role as a driving force forsustainable social development, not only by boosting investments in basic researchand human resource development to build a foundation of "knowledge," but also by
actively engaging in utilizing research results that are intellectual properties in society
and for creating start-ups.
In AY 2013, Nagoya University established the Academic Research & Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration as an integrated system to advance research activities ranging from basic research to industry-academia-government collaborations.
Nagoya University boasts the largest number of URAs (university research administrators) in Japan and has long been active in supporting academic research and industry-academia-government collaboration alongside the Research Cooperation Department at Administration Services.
In AY 2020, Nagoya University and Gifu University merged to form the Tokai National
Higher Education and Research System (THERS), and starting in AY 2023, the URAsof both universities belong to the Academic Research and Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration at THERS. The new structure is designed to strengthen support forresearch and industry-academia collaborations by taking advantage of the synergistic
effects of mutual collaboration.
We strive to further enhance support for researchers THERS-wide and build an innovation ecosystem. To this end, we will continue to actively engage in industry-academia
collaboration not only among local universities, companies, and society, but also on aglobal scale.
We hope that you will take full advantage of all that the Academic Research & Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration has to offer. With your support, together we
can make great strides forward.
