Greetings from the President

Nagoya University has a history of 147 years, with its roots in a temporary medical
school/hospital established in 1871. Once the last university to become a JapaneseImperial University in 1939, our University has since then continued to achievesignificant growth. We've maintained a tradition of having a free and vibrant academic
culture, and after setting a high basic objective in the 2000 Nagoya University
Academic Charter, we have worked hard to achieve that objective. The fact that 6 outof the 17 Nobel laureates from Japan who were awarded in the 21st century clearlyshows that our research abilities are top class on a global scale. Nagoya University,
throughout its long history, has produced many leaders in various areas of society andintroduced them to the world, and thus contributed to the development and growthof not only Japan but also the world.
In recent years, our university has been focusing on further strengthening ourresearch and educational abilities while simultaneously investing our full efforts
towards internationalization, gender equality, and social contribution. In regards tointernationalization, we are taking 3 different approaches. The first is to move awayfrom a one - dimensional perspective focusing on the West towards a
multi-dimensional perspective. Asia is the highest priority area. The second is theinvigoration of bilateral student exchange, and the third is strengthening English
education in support of internationalization. Talented individuals from around theworld have gathered in our campuses, forming an environment in which students or
researchers can interact with each other on a daily basis.
In addition, in regards to gender equality, our university has not only establishednursery care facilities, but also pioneered the establishment of Afterschool programsfor elementary school children ahead of the national universities around the country.
By supporting and expanding the scope of employment of female researchers, wehave been attracting talented female researchers from around the country. As theresult, Nagoya University was selected, as the only Japanese university, to be one of
10 universities around the world by UN Women to support the HeForShe Campaign.
Meanwhile, much has been expected of us as the core university within an area withthe highest concentration of the manufacturing industry. To meet and exceed those
expectations, we have cooperated closely with the government, local governments,
private industries, other universities, and citizens to pursue various collaborative
projects in order to create a vigorous community that is prepared to greet the future
and to promote exchange with the world. Moreover we have introduced new systems
for these several years and achieved great results.
Our university is a future-oriented university. And our goal is to foster humanresources who have high aspirations to contribute to society, have deep specialty andbroad perspectives, and are able to exhibit leadership in various fields. Innumerous
challenges may await us on our path to the future, but I believe from the bottom of myheart that, together with various people from our society, we will be able to continue
moving forward with courage and contribute to creating a Japan, and furthermore aworld, that is bright and full of hope.

Nagoya University:
A Designated National University
Nagoya University has been selected as a Designated National University by theJapanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
on March 20, 2018.
Designated universities are expected to play a role in promoting national university
reform, and to actively disseminate their influence on social and economic
development as well as the specific achievements of their programs
In order to carry out the above mission as a specially designated national university,
Nagoya University will move forward with the efforts outlined in "Nagoya University
Proposal to Become a Designated National University", contributing to world peaceand society's sustainable development as a world-leading university.
The youngest of the former imperial universities, Nagoya University was founded
in 1939. It is located in the Greater Nagoya Region of central Japan, the country’s
manufacturing belt. Our history as a comprehensive university is shortest among
the seven former imperial universities and we are also the smallest. Our free andopen academic culture has been the springboard for many remarkable researchachievements. This is due to Nagoya University’s collegial atmosphere which has
nurtured a number of outstanding contributors to society. Among our alumni, forinstance, are some of Japan's most prominent industrial leaders. From current andformer faculty, we also can name recipients of six Nobel Prizes since 2001. Further,
we lead other universities in engaging with the countries of Asia. We are also working
hard to support our female faculty and staff.
As stated in the NU MIRAI 2020 policy document, Nagoya University’s central
medium-term goal is to rise to the rank of an elite research university. This will allow
us to contribute to the peaceful co-existence and sustainable development of society.
We are reforming our management so we can better develop talented people whowill lead the next generation. To stimulate innovation and contribute to the search fortruth, our faculty members pursue groundbreaking research.
Based on the NU MIRAI 2020 plan, and taking advantage of our strengths, we will:
Set up research hubs to lead their respective fields
Train Ph.D. graduates to play leading roles in advancing our knowledge-based society
Make the campus environment more international
Develop a comprehensive management network within ten years to support andpromote transfer of fundamental research success into technical achievement
Encourage innovation in collaboration with industry
To achieve these aims, we want to manage our university based on the principle ofshared governance; create a positive cycle for generating revenue to strengthen our
finances; and establish a multi-campus system. Nagoya University aims to join the

What’s a Designated National University?
The designation system for national universities is a strategic and practical initiative thatendeavors, through promoting the world's highest level of education and research, torealize a positive cycle of attracting talented people and strengthening research capabilities
while at the same time obtaining evaluations and support from society. The Minister of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) only selects for designatednational university status those national universities that can, within a time period specified
by themselves, realize with certainty their proposed programs.

Becoming an elite research
university that produces
world-leading researchTraining outstanding doctoral
researchers to leadour knowledge-based society

Building on the track record displayed by our Nobel Prize winners, Nagoya
University will establish new research hubs (Stage III research). These will
be modeled on our successful Institute for Transformative Bio-Molecules(ITbM) WPI research center and the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for theOrigin of Particles and the Universe (KMI). To develop such researchhubs, we recognize the importance of encouraging young researchers andfounding new academic fields. To meet these needs,we plan to provide
multitier support optimized for different research achievements. This
includes Stage I support for young researchers and Stage II support
for training next-generation research leaders. These efforts will
include interdisciplinary studies linking researchers in different
schools within the university, including the humanities andsocial sciences, so they underpin future society.

Training PhDs is our core mission. We will build on our track record of successin the Leading Graduate School Programs and the Institute for Promotion ofDoctoral Education. We aim to train our PhDs in three core skills:• the capacity to address new challenges in research• the capacity to communicate with an international audience• the capacity to connect with society
We will provide interdisciplinary education by collaborating with researchhubs; developing international networks by expanding our joint degree
programs; and training students in transferable skills. At the same time,
we will promote a new approach to postgraduate education
involving close collaboration between industry and university
called the Sharing Education Initiative. Financial support for
Ph.D. students will increase using a special fund, and career
paths for graduate students will be promoted.

University-Industry Collaboration
As a core university located in one of theworld's most dynamic industrial clusters,
we conduct research and pursue innovationthat contributes to value creation for
betterment of society.

● Establishing a new“industry-academia-government collaboration”
to implement open innovation

Creating an international
campus that attracts
people from around the world,and developing overseas outreachDeveloping synergies
outside of academia

Nagoya University aims to increase our intake of international students to
3,200 in ten years. We will also expand opportunities for Japanese students toenroll in English-Taught courses offered in our G30 international programs.
Also, we aim to increase the proportion of students who experience study or
training abroad to 70 percent. The recently established Applied Social
System Institute of Asia (ASIA) is a platform that facilitates researchcooperation with scholars throughout Asia to solve problems of a
global scale. Nagoya University will benefit from greaterinternational cooperation by increasing faculty and student
awareness of global issues. A more international campus will
also help attract students, faculty and administrative staff fromthe global talent pool.

Nagoya University aims to take advantage of its location in one of the world’ s
premiere manufacturing belts. We will increase the responsibilities of URAs,
along with unifying management of research and technical support for innovation
creation, training personnel, and contributing more to industry. By encouraging
industry, university and government to cooperate, we are setting up education
programs that take full advantage of cross-sector cooperation. We will form
research and development centers for “open innovation.” New
research labs and a center for collaborative industryacademia
research will introduce a true organizational partnership. Last, weplan to bolster support for entrepreneurship education anduniversity-based start-up companies.

Presidential Leadership and a Flexible System
for Proposing, Debating, and Enacting Policies through Shared Governance
The university will appoint a provost responsible for education and research under
the university president. Under shared governance, the board of trustees andthose leading each school can share responsibilities. The Office of Institutional
Research will also fulfill the following roles:• Summarizing information about university management and collecting informationfrom students and other members of the community• Proposing measures based on data analysis• Training personnel as future managers

We wish to design and manage Nagoya University so it can respond to political,
economic and social change. Importantly, we will continue to strengthen policies
promoting gender equality. For the future, we must also nurture faculty who can
become administrators through university design workshops. Enhancing
training of faculty and staff is essential for developing a university thatserves society’s needs.

Creation of Positive Cycle for Continuous
Development with the New Multicampus
Tokai National University System

Strengthening our financial basis through apositive cycle of management resources
Nagoya University contributes to Japan’s economic growth by creatingknowledge and developing human resources. This attracts
management resources which we can then invest in creating more
knowledge and developing more human resources in a positive
cycle. To support this, further deregulation is necessary so
we can diversify our sources of revenue and continue
our drive for greater efficiency. Nagoya University
seeks to increase its budget size 1.4 times, or, by 40
billion yen.

06

Nagoya University plans to remove institutional barriers with our partner universities andestablish a new regional multi-campus system. The provisional name is the Tokai
National University System. Member universities in this group will preserve theirautonomy. But each will contribute to the organization by strengthening education andresearch functions. Our hope is that the strengthened education and researchfunctions will contribute to world peace and sustainable development.
Greater economies of scale will make it easier for the acquisition of
external funds, strengthen international competitiveness and form one of
the world’ s leading national university organizations.

possible the artificial and preferential production of enantiomers. Enantiomers aremolecules existing in many organic compounds that are mirror images of each otherbut not identical, i.e., with a right- and left-side relationship but with each side having
a different character. While one side could become a promising medicine, the other
could equally become a dangerous toxin. It has therefore become a major issue
in chemistry to find ways to preferentially produce right- and left-side products.
Dr. Noyori’s research makes it possible to artificially produce right- and left-side
molecules using catalysts. This research has tremendous potential in the creationand production of medicines, aromatic chemicals, and materials in harmony with thenatural environment.

a parasitic plant that causes drastic damage to agriculture in Africa. Striga is a major
threat for food crops, leading to huge yield losses (worth over 10 billion US dollars) andaffecting over 100 million people. Striga recognizes strigolactones (SLs), which are

Fresh Insights, Intellectual Stimulation,
and a Global Perspective through Student Exchange (NUPACE)
Established in February 1996, the Nagoya University Program for Academic Exchange(NUPACE) is an academic student exchange program through which international
students enrolled at Nagoya University's partner institutions can study in Japan for one
or two semesters. The program aims to foster friendships that extend beyond borders,internationalize through education, and motivate overseas students to pursue more
extensive studies in Japan. The NUPACE academic year runs on a semester basis, and2

students can choose one of two admission periods: Mid-September or early April.

4

3

NUPACE offers a unique and flexible curriculum comprising Japanese language
instruction, Japan area studies, and a wide range of courses in the student's major
field of study, including those available through the G30 International Programs.
Provided that they take at least fifteen credits per semester, students can design
their own curriculum, balancing their interest in Japanese language and area studies
with the desire to pursue their major. Guided research for graduate students is alsoavailable. Moreover, whilst a fully-developed, comprehensive English language
program is provided, those students proficient in Japanese are eligible to register andearn credits for any course offered to degree-seeking students at Nagoya University.

arenas, for its quality and leadership in exchange student education.

Over 180 universities/ institutions are possible exchange partners
Three internal selection rounds per year (June, November, January)
Duration of Exchange is one semester or one year
Participants join local students in taking classes in their field of study or other relatedareas of interest. As a representative of Nagoya University, participants must engage
in their academic studies with a sincere attitude and are required to periodically submit
a report during their exchange. Participants must plan ahead and consider their futureplans. Those wishes to transfer credits must follow each departments’ rules accordingly.

Merits〇 Support from Study Abroad Office

Study Abroad Office support students participating in exchange by helping themchoose their destination, preparing them for language requirements, providing various
orientations and risk managements. Office can also advice students while they are on
the program through e-mails.

12

3〇 Tuition waiver

Nagoya University has established a mutual tuition fee waiver with most partner
institutions. As long as students pay tuition to Nagoya University, they do not have to
pay tuition at the destination university. Therefore, the costs of their exchange are lessthan a self-funded study abroad.

Short Term Program
We also offer various short-term programs. Please refer to the website:

ASSIA is a new institute launched in April of 2017. To begin, let us
explain the circumstances leading to its establishment. In 2015
Nagoya Universit y released the " Nagoya Universit y Matsuo
Initiatives for Reform, Autonomy and Innovation 2020" (NU MIRAI2020), which set forth several medium-term objectives that the
University will endeavor to achieve in the future. Central among
the challenges introduced is the goal of growing Nagoya University
into a world-leading research university, with "the establishment ofre s e a rc h i n s t i t u te s fo r t h e s u s t a i n e d c re a t i o n o f h u m a nknowledge" provided as one of the concrete policies towardachieving this goal.
"The creation of human knowledge" implies, in other words, theintegration of knowledge and expertise possessed by the diverse
re s e a rc h p e r s o nn e l b e l o n g in g to N a g oy a U ni ve r si t y a s acomprehensive research university. In the past, Nagoya University
has prioritized the establishment of interdisciplinary researchorganizations in the natural sciences, however it has become
apparent that finding solutions to many global challenges requires
incorporating the knowledge and expertise of the social sciences.
To this end, Nagoya University decided to create a new researchorganization for the integration of the social sciences: the AppliedSocial System Institute of Asia (ASSIA). While there are many
research institutes for specialized fields in the social sciences atnational universities in Japan, AS SI A is unique in that it iscomposed of research personnel who themselves work across anumber of fields in the overall sciences.
Now, let us introduce ASSIA's organizational structure. The
following six research groups were launched in 2017 with thecooperation of Nagoya University's social sciences departments,and span the three research areas of "Environment", "Institutions",
and "Human Resources":

A. Environment
1. Sustainable development with decarbonization (Graduate

B. Institutions
3. Legal research into ASEAN through field studies and theoreticalanalysis (Graduate School of Law, Graduate School of International
Development, and Graduate School of Environmental Sciences)
4. The governance of AI networking- Mainly from social, ethical,
economic, and legal viewpoints - (Graduate School of L aw,

C. Human Resources
5. Skills and knowledge for youths in developing countries(Graduate School of International Development, Graduate Schoolof Humanities, and Graduate School of Education and Human
Development)
6. Construction of an international network for Lesson Studies anddevelopment of a teacher education program in Asia (Graduate
School of Education and Human Development)
NU MIRAI 2020 takes as another of its policies "the cultivation of
personnel motivated to learn with Asia and challenge the world".
ASSIA develops human resources and facilitates creative researchby utilizing as its foundation the international collaborative
net works that each researcher and graduate school at the
University have been building in the past. Furthermore, ASSIA
contributes to the restructuring of Nagoya University into a "hubuniversity in Asia" by showcasing researches that fuse disciplines
and open up new areas of study to the world.

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

Counseling room in the Center

Since 2013, Nagoya University has been collaborating with the Mongolian National
University of Education (MNUE) on research and support activities for the mental health anddevelopment of Mongolian children. In September 2016, the NU/MNUE Child Development
Support Center (hereinafter “the Center”) was established at MNUE. It is expected that
the Center is not only carrying out research and supporting children with developmental
disabilities in Mongolia, but also making regional contributions and functioning as a base forhuman resource development.
The Center’s projects are as follows:

1. Consultations on developmental or psychological issues suffered by
Mongolian children

Testing scene of the Mongolian version Intelligence Scale

We have begun to provide guidance on child development and mental health issues throughthe Center’s dedicated counseling room. Clinical psychologists and a child psychiatrist from
NU met with children and their families directly in the past, but now MNUE’s experts conduct
the interviews themselves, and by consulting with NU staff via Skype, the level of expertise in
their clinical care is being taken to new heights. Through these activities, we are contributing
to the local community and conducting human resource development in Mongolia.

2. Creation of new testing tools for evaluating the development of children
in Mongolia

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.

Training for testers of the Mongolian version Intelligence Scale

We aim to improve the methods for evaluating children's cognitive ability in Mongolia bydeveloping a Mongolian version of the "Tanaka-Binet Intelligence Scale V", an intelligencetest used extensively in Japan.
In 2017-18, approximately 1200 children living in Mongolia were individually tested with the
Mongolian version of the Tanaka-Binet Scale.
We are now standardizing the test, which we plan to finalize in 2019.

3. Training for child development and psychological care experts in Mongolia
For the advancement of specialized knowledge in child development support, we will
carry out activities to raise awareness, such as organizing workshops and publishingspecialized books.

4. Circulation of research findings
Text book of special education

Findings of the research involved in these activities will be presented at international
conferences and published in academic journals.

ICREA aims to promote basic research and overseas field surveys that are directly geared
towards finding solutions of existing problems in agricultural communities. As global fooddemands rapidly diversify, particularly in developing countries, the role of field science isbecoming increasingly important. Specifically, the findings of basic research that have been
accumulating in developed countries are expected to be efficiently utilized and appliedin actual community to promote sustainable agricultural production that is based on foodsecurity, nutrient improvement, and environmental conservation.
For these reasons, our center was reorganized in April 2018, from the International
Cooperation Center for Agricultural Education to ICREA, reflecting revisions to our
original 1999 mission statement, and made a new start to advance international researchcollaboration in agricultural development, to strengthen the function of international
agricultural education based on such research, and to contribute more to global agriculturalsciences by deepening coordination between relevant departments at Nagoya University
and core research centers in Japan and abroad.

Located in the heart of Japan, the Chubu region has played a central
role in Japan’s history and has long enjoyed a flourishing culture andeconomy. The area is well known as the home of Oda Nobunaga,
Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the three leaders who
unified Japan over 400 years ago, bringing an end to the “Period of
Warring States.” Nagoya Castle, originally built by Tokugawa Ieyasu
and famous for the pair of golden dolphins on top of its donjon, serves
as the region’s landmark.
Today, this vibrant metropolis occupies an important place in Japan’s
political and economic spheres. With a population of 2.3 million,
Nagoya is the nerve center of the Chubu Industrial Zone, a merger ofboth traditional and modern industries, most notably the automotive
industry. Nagoya offers a variety of urban conveniences, with shops,
restaurants and leisure activities that cater to any taste, making it an
exciting place to live, work and study.
