Greetings fromthe University President

Nagoya University originally existed as a medical school approximately 135 years ago until, in 1939,
it became one of the imperial universities. In those 68 years of history, Nagoya University has generated
a truly remarkable number of outstanding results in research and development and has nurtured anddeveloped people who can contribute to society. We believe these shining successes were founded on
an open academic atmosphere, of which the university can justly take pride, and realized through thepresence of outstanding educators and researchers - the well-springs of knowledge - coupled with anunwavering belief in the importance of fostering freedom of thought as we push forward.
It is through the creative activities at the forefront of education and research, in the whole spectrumof our activities in the humanities, social sciences, and natural science, that Nagoya University develops"courageous intellectuals" with the courage imbued with the sense of humanity needed to stand at theforefront of knowledge creation and shoulder the burdens of the future. It is through these individuals
that Nagoya University makes its contribution to society.

Shin-ichi Hirano
President of Nagoya University

brave intellectuals who can contribute to society, it is necessary tomove forward with a high goal in mind and take on various challenges.

In “Frontiers - At the Forefront of Nagoya University,” we introduce
some of these individuals who merit special attention. Changing theuniversity, making Japan and the world at large even better - theirdetermination and potential is apparent in whatever they set out toaccomplish.

4 Frontiers

Completion of the Akasaki InstituteCommunicating the results of scholarship and research to the global community as an importantbase for cooperation between academia, government, and industry

In the fall of 2006, the construction of the longanticipated Akasaki Memorial Research Center, theAkasaki Institute, was completed. The main building
was constructed with the purpose of introducing
and disseminating the achievements of University
Professor Akasaki Isamu and his world-leading
research and development in high brightness blue
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) not only to those within
the university itself but to the community at large.
History of the research and development of blue
LEDs as well as various products that utilize thistechnology are on display in the first floor showroom.
This research can be applied to a wide range oftechnology, including traffic lights, large-scale
display monitors, cellular phone backlights, and next
generation optic disks. This display illustrates thegreat significance of Professor Akasaki’s work as acontribution to the advancement of science as wellas its effect of his research on society as a whole.
The main building also has a role as a place forthe transmission of the importance of academic
creation to the young generation and to seek out
new academic ideas for the coming future. For
this purpose, the two adjoining facilities, a venturebusiness laboratory measuring the developmentof human resources and a facility to nurture anddevelop new concepts, comprise the “IndustryGovernment-Academia Cooperation Zone.” In
the main building, in addition to the establishmentof an office for the promotion of the academic,
government, and industry collaboration, we havealso set up laboratory facilities available for rentto the public for the purposes of fostering thenext generation of research and technologicaldevelopment. Joint projects with business and otherco-operative endeavors are already making progressin this facility. Centered around the main building,these three facilities function as a systematic unit;
however, their function is not only as a base for
Nagoya University’s academic innovation. They
also have an important role as a primary base forcollaboration between the university and industry for
the whole Chubu area and much is expected of thiscenter.
In the hope that Professor Akasaki’s passion forresearch will continue as an unbroken legacy for his
successors, a yuzuriha tree has been planted in thegarden in front of the main building. The name ofthis tree itself is significant in that “yuzuru” means
to bequeath or pass along, reflecting the hope thatthe professor’s legacy will continue to be transmitted
to future generations. A stone tablet bearing theinscription “There is no royal road to research.” wasalso placed in the garden. It had been said in the
mid twentieth century that high brightness blue LEDs
would never become a reality. The main building thathouses the individualistic and creative imaginationand pioneering spirit of Professor Akasaki who
made that a reality will surely become a place for the
dissemination of high-level academic results to theglobal community.

5International Technology Transfer
Offering a gateway for two-way international technology transfer

Further steps have been taken for enhancing
international technology transfer. We believe
collaborative research with overseas companies
would contribute in stimulating the research andeducation to be conducted at the University.
Maximizing commercial application of research tooverseas companies would have effects of benefiting
regional and national economy. It would result infurther creating innovation.
We have decided to provide a gateway for twoway technology transfer between universities andcompanies/start-ups in Central Japan area (Tokai
area) and overseas. We have also started to support
the efforts of universities in the Central Japan area forinternational technology transfer of their technologicalseeds and patents. A booklet was produced to
introduce to abstracts of technologies of Nagoya
University as well as those of selected universities
in the area. The technologies are categorized inbiotechnology, medicine, pharmaceuticals, materials,
chemistry, environment, IT, electronics, mechanicalengineering, etc.
A remarkable progress has been made insecuring a base for technology transfer between
Central Japan area and the U.S. A nonprofit
corporation, “Nagoya University Technology
Partnership, Inc.” was established in North Carolina,
U.S. in October 2007. With the launch of the office,we expect information on new technologies andpatents of Nagoya University and universities in theCentral Japan area would be well disseminated and,in turn, related information of the U.S. companies
and universities would be collected. Potential partnercompanies for conducting joint research projects
and sponsored research projects might be wellapproached. Promotion of licensing of patents tooverseas companies is also expected.
We concluded agreements with selected
universities with a view to promoting industryuniversity collaboration. The universities include
North Carolina State University (US), the University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill (US) and the Universityof Warwick (UK). We agreed contributing to thesociety through promotion of and commercializationof intellectual property developed by universities
and sharing information of industries and research
institutions in both countries on a non confidential
basis and promote joint research that leads to further
promotion of education, research and industrial
development. The exchange of staff to deal with theissues would also be facilitated.
Efforts are being made for developing capacity ofthe staff of Nagoya University to obtain knowledge to
conduct professional IP management. Furthermore,a clear strategy for filing and maintaining international
patents has been formulated to maximize
commercial application of research. We are also
strengthening the function of the office to deal withinternational legal affairs.

Nagoya University International Advisory Board
Aiming for World-class Research and Education

After becoming a National University Corporation in 2004, to help
attain the goal of being recognized as one of the world’s top-level
universities of the 21st century, Nagoya University established an
external evaluation system based on the advice of two outside groupsof experts. One of these groups is the administration council that has
the role of giving pertinent advice and evaluation from an administrative
standpoint. The other group is the International Advisory Board(IAB) whose purpose is to provide suggestions from an international
viewpoint in order to further enrich and expand the university’s scientificresearch and education.
The IAB took off under President Hirano’s strong leadership andis composed of seven prominent and experienced scholars fromboth within Japan and overseas, including three Nobel Laureates. Its
members were appointed with a good balance between the various
fields of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences and eachmember is not only a researcher but also excels as an educator. Thus,
it can surely be said that the evaluations and proposals from the IAB
are the product of some of the world’s highest-achieving academics.
The IAB first met in February 2006 to discuss how best to organize
the Institute of Advanced Research (IAR), which was established in
2002 as an “ideal center for research and development” in order toachieve world-leading results in research. As a result, several important
proposals were made such as “the need to recognize particularly
outstanding researchers at the University with a small number ofsuperior researchers being selected to become members of the IAR”
and “the IAR should select and support cutting-edge research (worldclass, high-level research projects) and superior, ground-breaking
research (work by young researchers that is ground-breaking aswell as highly original and creative).” Based on these suggestions,various renovations are currently being implemented at the IAR suchas the introduction of a “Tenure Track” system with the aim of further
improving the organization of the IAR and how it appoints and develops
outstanding young researchers.
The second meeting was held in October of the same year andthere was discussion on the topic submitted by the President of “whatform graduate education should take.” The proposals made include
the following: “Nagoya University should promote self-evaluation
regarding the level and quality of doctoral course education andmaintain the high academic standards of the doctoral course,” “Thearea from which the student body is drawn should be expanded andemphasis placed on the acceptance of talented students not only
from within Japan but also from other Asian countries,” and “Thefinancial support for doctoral course students should be made more
substantial.” In consideration of these suggestions, a new scholarshipprogram and an overseas study opportunities program for doctoral
course students, unique to this university, were established.
These two reports from the IAB regarding research and education
will continue to be utilized in the future to provide important guidanceon how to continue to enrich the research and educational activities at
Nagoya University.

Creation of Innovation Centers for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research Areas
Promoting Research in Early-stage Preventative Medicine and Leading the Way in Medical System Reform

In accordance with the coming of an increasingly aging
society, prevention at the onset of disease has become very
important. However, because even with the same disease,
the appropriate method of treatment varies with eachindividual, attention is now being given to "individual earlystage preventative medicine" that goes beyond present-day
medical treatment and preventative medical science. For
the foundation of this new concept of medical treatment, itis necessary to bring together not only medical researchersand doctors, but also the developmental capabilities ofengineering researchers and the technological power ofindustry. Nagoya University has been holding joint medicalengineering seminars for a number of years. Based on
the foundation and the achievements, beginning in 2006,
we have been promoting "The Creation of Early-Stage
Preventative Medicine based on Joint Medical-Engineering
Analysis and Diagnosis." This project has been selected by
the Ministry of Education for their "Creation of Innovation
Centers for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research Areas."
The goal is to develop small-scale analytical and diagnostic
equipment that will allow anyone, anywhere to safely andinexpensively make a correct diagnosis of the illness. At
the research center within the Akasaki Institute, researcherswith various backgrounds meet with industry technologists
to exchange information as they devote themselves todeveloping this equipment. In addition, because it is a new
field of study that has yet to be systemized, they also work tonurture talented people and progress toward the formation ofa knowledge base.

At present, we are mainly promoting the developmentof essential technologies. In the information sciences andmedical sciences graduate courses, when we develop
a high-grade endoscope system in co-operation with
Olympus, it will lay the foundation for an intelligent navigation
endoscope, a technology that will ensure that the cause of
the disease is not overlooked. Additionally, the engineeringand medical science graduate courses are developing a biomarker analyzing device in collaboration with Nippon Gaishi
and Fujitsu. In state-of-the-art nano-bio research, the aim is
to apply this to the ultra high-speed identification of abnormal
cells and pathogenic bacteria and the diagnosis of allergies.
Furthermore, engineering and medical science graduate
courses are collaborating with Nippon Gaishi to develop
a system to predict the onset and malignancy of lifestylerelated illnesses. It will perform an integrated analysis of both
genetics and lifestyle and provide a projection of the onset of
the illness as well as safe, reassuring measures to deal with
it. Meanwhile, to make individual early-stage preventative
medicine a reality, it is also necessary to construct a
database for individuals and to establish a business model.
For this purpose, there is also research being conducted
regarding the effectiveness of medical treatment systems
that utilize equipment, focused primarily on the hospital
associated with the university medical department and
ITOCHU Corporation, which has experience in medical
treatment management.
Within the next 10-15 years, our aim is to develop a nextgeneration analytical and diagnostic device that will be likeholding a large-scale hospital in the palm of your hand and toreform the Nagoya University medical treatment system.

New Scholarship Program and Overseas Study Opportunities for Doctoral Course Students
Nagoya University has established a system for doctoral
course students with a total of 100,000,000 yen for scholarshipfunds and assistance for overseas study opportunities.
The scholarship program is aimed at students with an
outstanding character, whose research has reached a high levelof excellence, and who have received the recommendation of
the Dean of their graduate school. These students will generally
receive assistance in the amount of 300,000 yen per annum
over a period of three years and will not be required to repay
any of this amount to the university.
The program for overseas study provides financial
assistance for students studying or performing researchoverseas to assist them with the expenses incurred in these
activities. The goal of this support is to nurture and developinternationally-minded students and researchers.
Both of these programs have been drawing attention to theuniversity as ways in which to demonstrate support for young
researchers as a distinctive characteristic of Nagoya University.

Research Frontiers: Striving for the Apex of Global Excellence

Short-term Student Exchange Program: NUPACEThe Nagoya University Program for Academic Exchange (NUPACE),
established in February 1996, is a short-term student exchange program,
through which international students enrolled at Nagoya University’s partner
institutions are given the opportunity to study in Japan for four to twelve
months. The program aims to forge friendships that extend beyond borders,internationalize through education, and motivate overseas students to pursue
more extensive studies with regard to Japan. The NUPACE academic year runs
from late September to August of the following year, and students are offered achoice of two admission periods: late September or early April.
As to the program itself: NUPACE offers a unique and flexible curriculum
consisting of Japanese language instruction, Japan area/intercultural studies
and a wide range of courses in the student’s major field of study. In principle,
the medium of instruction is English. Provided that students meet the minimum
requirement of twelve credits per semester, they are free to design their own
curriculum, balancing their interest in Japanese language and Japan area/intercultural studies with their desire to pursue their ‘major’ or independent
research. Guided research is also available as a study option. Furthermore,
students who are proficient in Japanese are eligible to register for any course
offered to degree-seeking students at Nagoya University.

Research Excellence

Accomplishments by University Professors Dr. Noyori and Dr. Akasaki
As a research-intensive university, we have promoted world-class research along with the concept in the Academic Charter “to study various phenomenaof the humanities, society, and nature from an all-inclusive viewpoint, respond to contemporary issues, and adjust and enrich its education system to generate a
new sense of values and body of knowledge founded on human nature.”
A few of such examples are the achievements of the Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 2001, Dr. Ryoji NOYORI, and Dr. Isamu AKASAKI, who developed
GaN blue light emitting diode. In recent years, the creation of innovations has come into the spotlight, and the development of GaN blue light emitting diode is a
successful example of Industry-Academia-Government cooperation.

Dr. Noyori’s sincere commitment, philosophy, and passion

University Professor Akasaki Isamu and Blue Light-emitting

earned him a Nobel Prize, the greatest honor for a scientist.

Diodes - Producing a new light source for the 21st century-

In October 2001, the Royal Swedish Academy announced that Dr. R.
Noyori and Dr. W. S. Knowles (USA) had been awarded the Nobel Prizein Chemistry for ‘Their work on chirally catalyzed hydrogenation reactions’and Dr. K. B. Sharpless for ‘His work on chirally catalyzed oxidation
reactions.’ This research had made possible artificial and preferential
production of the ‘Enantiomer’ which exists in many organic compounds,
and had comprised a very important subject of study in the 20th century.
Dr. Noyori et al. realized their dreams.

Many researchers abandoned the development of high-performanceblue light-emitting devices, based on the opinion that "it would be too
difficult to realize within the 20th century." Nagoya University Professor
Akasaki Isamu remained undeterred and pressed forward in his researchfor 20 years and, in 1989, succeeded in being the first to achieve thisgoal and produced “a new light source for the 21st century.”
Professor Akasaki accomplished this through the use of the semiconductor compound gallium nitride (GaN) and with that became theman who revolutionized the field of semi-conductor research. Blue lightemitting diodes (LEDs) can be utilized in a wide range of technologies,
including traffic lights, large-scale display monitors, and next generation
optic disks and the contributions of this invention to society are
immeasurable. The applicability of GaN-type semi-conductors intechnology does not end with its use in light sources. There is also ahigh expectation that they can be applied to technologies such as ultra
high-speed, high-output transmitters and ultra-violet detectors that will be
indispensable to the future information technology-based society.
In his life as a researcher, Professor Akasaki held fast to his idea that“once you have resolved to accomplish something, never give up.”
Due to his achievements in research based on this unwaveringresolve, in 2004, he was recognized as a person who has madesignificant contributions to culture and has also received numerous otherawards.

Institute of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, 464-8601, JAPANhttp://www.kyoiku-in.nagoya-u.ac.jp/
In its Academic Charter enacted in 2000,
Nagoya University declared that it should cultivate
courageous intellectuals gifted with rational
thought and creativity. Liberal education isfundamental in carrying out this mission, and as
an organization responsible for the university’sliberal education the Institute of Liberal Arts andSciences (ILAS) has been playing a vital role. Its
history goes back to 1994, when, following theclosure of the College of General Education, a
new system was established for both common

Institute for Advanced Researchbasic education and liberal arts and sciences. The
core management body for this new organizationconsisted of two steering committees for which
members were selected from all of the schoolsof Nagoya University. In December 2001, thecommittees were upgraded to the ILAS to seek
further improvement in liberal education, andsince then, the ILAS, as the headquarters of liberal
education, has been playing an active role inplanning, execution, evaluation, and management
for Nagoya University’s liberal education.

Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, 464-8601, JAPANhttp://www.iar.nagoya-u.ac.jp/
The Institute for Advanced Research wasestablished by the University in April 2002 as a
research base for achieving an advanced level ofacademic research that the University could be
proud of internationally. In recognizing the value ofcreative research for providing intellectual assets
for the future, the Institute intensively promotes
highly creative research in all academic disciplines.
The Institute accommodates approximately
1% of the University faculty members, whose
research projects have been carefully selected. In
principle, to allow these project-focused faculty
members to concentrate completely on theirresearch, they are either exempted from theirteaching and administrative duties, or have hadsuch duties greatly reduced during the project’s
duration (the maximum project duration is five
years.) Fifteen associate professors (tenure-track
positions) adopted under the Special Rearing
Plan for Researchers also conduct research at theInstitute.

Five core faculty members have been assigned
to the Institute to handle administrative matters, tomaintain and improve the research environment,
and to disseminate research results widely outside
the University. Important matters related to theInstitute, including management and planning,
and the selection and evaluation of projects, aredecided by the Institute for Advanced ResearchCommittee (IAR Committee), which comprises
the five core faculty members and seven of thesteering committee members.
Up to now twenty-nine research projects havebeen successfully completed at the Institute, all ofthem carefully evaluated by the IAR Committee.
They have been used to energize other research
activities throughout the University and have been
disseminated widely throughout the society.

Research Institutes
Research Institute of Environmental Medicine
The Research Institute of Environmental
Medicine (RIEM) was launched in 1946 as an
institute attached to Nagoya University (theformer Nagoya Imperial University). In 2004-2005,
policies were established to shift the institute’s
main mission from space medicine to near-futureenvironmental medicine. Our current objectives
are to elucidate the mechanisms of, and develop
preventive measures against, the serious healthproblems that may occur within the next 30 to 50
years. Those problems include decline in brain
functions, an increase of sudden cardiac death,
impaired immunity, developmental abnormalities
in fetuses, and mental or physical suffering
which can endanger the autonomic nervous

Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, 464-8601, JAPANhttp://www.riem.nagoya-u.ac.jp/E/index.html
and sensory systems. RIEM was reorganized in2006 to enhance the research potential toward
the new objectives and is now composed of twocore research divisions: I. Stress Recognition
and Response, and II. Stress Adaptation andProtection. In addition, a Futuristic Environmental
Simulation Center was launched to replace
the Space Medicine Research Center. Active
collaborations with other institutions in Japanand abroad are under way by using largescale apparatuses (e.g., a hypobaric and low
temperature chamber), and innovative researchtechnologies (e.g., a high resolution opticalmapping system, and tissue targeting molecules).
