to prospective students through high school visits, college
information sessions, open campus, the University's website,and online individual consultations. In particular, sinceparticipation in the open campus is a prerequisite for applying
to the Comprehensive Selection Examination, the ways the JCD
provides information like the University's website and flyers
were improved.
In addition, for the hybrid-type open campus, we did not only
enhance online contents such as trial lessons, but also madepreparations to permanently post seminar introduction contents
on our website, which had previously been limited to the open
campus.
Furthermore, in addition to revising the questions on theexaminee and open campus participant questionnaires, theresponse rate was improved by changing the method to allow
responses to be entered on the spot from a smartphone.
The status of the university's PR activities was also analyzed
and reorganized, and we discussed an effective public relations

purpose of seeking more effective implementation method and higher
response rate in student class evaluation questionnaires at theundergraduate school, the larger-scale questionnaires. Since theresponse rate is usually low at around 40%, the instructors were

The results were also reviewed within the subcommittee forappropriateness of the evaluation, and questions regarding thesyllabus were discussed as an item related to educational
quality assurance.
However, the committee did not reach a conclusion because of
the possibility of decreasing the response rate, discouraging
free opinions, and influencing the response to harassment, etc.
The committee decided to continue the discussion.
The committee also discussed the point of utilizing student
evaluations as faculty evaluations, and concluded that theoriginal purpose of the current class evaluations is primarily for
FD activities, and that the current evaluation method is not
appropriate for use in faculty assessment evaluations.
It was concluded that future utilization of the system for facultyevaluation and other purposes needs to be considered, taking
into account the direction of the University of Aizu as a whole.

We exempted tuition for a cumulative total of 153 students (83individuals) who are victims of the Great East Japan Earthquakeand other disasters. and students with financial difficulties
including those eligible for the National Study Support System.
As for the University of Aizu Student Living Expense Fund, we
provided 10,000 yen worth of prepaid cards for the university
cafeteria and shop to two students who applied for support
under the regular program. We also provided 3,000 yen worth of
prepaid cards to all new students (first-year students) for
FY2022, as the prolonged COVID-19 situation has had afinancial impact on their lives as students.
Further, in collaboration with the UoA Support Association, we
continued to provide students a 30% (1,500 yen) subsidy forpurchasing 5,000-yen prepaid cards that can be used at theuniversity cafeteria and shop.
With collaboration among the faculty members in charge of eachseminar in the departments, student counselors, student affairs
staff, counselors, etc., when students asked for a consultation,
the Dean of Students gathered information, and the Dean ofStudents and faculty members in charge responded
appropriately. We provided detailed student support as planned
during the year.
In particular, we made efforts to create an environment in which
students can easily seek advice by providing student carethrough the "Health Care Check Sheet" for all students anddispelling resistance to counseling through the regular
distribution of "Counselor's Letter".
In addition, we conducted two training sessions, one for student
counselors and the other for all faculty and staff, giving themthe opportunity to learn the means to deal with students

and conducted some of them online due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Mock tests, etc. were conducted as much as possible
after taking measures against infectious diseases such as
maintaining desk spacing and social distance. We also resumed
the summer internship program, which had been suspended dueto the COVID-19 pandemic, for the first time in three years.
In addition, the Career Support Center strived to facilitate
environment necessary for students’ job hunting activities by,among other things, installing PCs with headsets, accepting
reservations for classrooms to conduct job interviews, whileproviding each department with webcams and headsets forstudents to borrow.
As a result of the above efforts, the employment rate ofstudents looking for employment was 98.3%.

In particular, we will actively conduct research activities suited for the newlifestyle of the post-COVID era and actively engage not only in faculty’s
individual research but also in projects such as research activities by eachcluster, ministry-industry-university collaborative major projects, and othercollaborative projects in and outside Japan.

We promoted both individual academic research by each faculty
member and team research by clusters, and obtained research
grants for scientific research and industry-academia
collaborations. By doing these, we contributed to theadvancement of science through the publication of major journal
papers. In addition, we contributed to society by registering
intellectual property rights of research results and implementing
their industrialization. At the same time, we contributed to theacademic community by organizing and participating in domestic
and international academic conferences. In addition, we
conducted outreach activities through field demonstrations inlocal communities. Through these efforts, the University
increased its social recognition and international
competitiveness. Our achievements are as follows.

At CAIST, the leading-edge and interdisciplinary
research which is integrated with computer scienceand engineering will be promoted. While examining thereform and abolishment of clusters every fiscal year,
we will establish an infrastructure for industry andinnovation for responding to the rapidly changing timein a timely manner, and give it back to society.

We will aim to increasing the sophistication of our platform for giving back to 88
society through our technical prowess through industry-universityCAIST
government collaboration with a focus on cutting-edge research anddevelopment. At the same time, we will promote the strengthening of ourcompetitiveness in the realm of the acquisition of external funding in order toengage in the challenging technological research and development needed tocreate innovation. Further, we will aim to conduct cross-cluster collaboration
through the Cluster Conference and to create opportunities for intrauniversity exchange aimed at promoting synergy through collaboration withinternal research projects. In addition, we will aim to establish a support
system for an interdisciplinary intra/extra-university research collaboration
system. In addition, through the holding of meetings of the advisory board, theannual symposium, etc., we will proactively collect advice from external
experts and, based on that advice, improve the quality of the future plans of
CAIST as a research organization. At the same time, In addition to providing
learning opportunities to the local community and returning knowledge to the
public, we will enhance our public relations activities through the website, etc.
and pursue the construction of a system for disseminating academic
achievements domestically and abroad. Moreover, in order to maintain thehigh-quality technological innovation ability needed to flexibly respond to therapidly changing times, we will proactively conduct periodic revisions anddiscontinuations of research clusters through cluster review meetings and aim
to further stimulate research and development activities.

We held UoA Joint Research Forum in August in collaboration
with the AI Center and the ARC-Space (CAIST's Space
Information Science Cluster until FY2020) to report theachievements and activities of each cluster to the university
and beyond. In addition, we promoted collaboration among
research clusters through cluster meetings (held three times
during the fiscal year) and held Advisory Board meetings to
obtain advice from external experts. Further, the CAIST
evaluation committee in May evaluated activities of each clusterin regards to education, research, and other internal/external
activities. As a result, it supported the continuation of 2 existingclusters (Robotics Information Engineering and IoT). The Deansand Directors Council made the final decision to approve theircontinuation. 2 clusters (Bioinformatics and Cloud), which had
expired at the end of June, were reorganized as Basic Clusters
and started new activities. To publicize these activities, weenhanced the content of our web page and disseminatedinformation via social networking services as well.
