About the City of Nagoya
■ Nagoya City has one of the top-ranking economies worldwide, boasting leading industries in automotive manufacturing, machinery, electronics, and ceramics. ■ The Chubu area of Japan is particularly renowned as the home of three leaders, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa leyasu, who unified Japan over 400 years ago, bringing an end to the "Period of Warring States." ■ Nagoya Castle, originally built by Tokugawa leyasu and famous for the golden dolphins found on its donion, serves as the landmark of the region.

About Nagoya University
Nagoya University has a history of about 150 years, with its roots in a temporary medical school/hospital established in 1871 and formally instituted as the last Imperial University of Japan in 1939. Although modest in size compared to the largest universities in Japan, Nagoya University has been pursuing steady development through creative research activities fostered by a free and vibrant academic culture. To further strengthen the research and education, Nagoya University is actively promoting interactivity to cultivate talented people and to develop an international human network.
Education & Research
Nagoya University is made up of 9 Undergraduate Schools, 13 Graduate Schools, 35 Research Institutes and Centers.

New Flagship Research Institutes and Centers at Nagoya University Of the seven former imperial universities in Japan, Nagoya University was founded last. Faculty at that time came to Nagoya from all over Japan; they helped students and young researchers pursue their research freely, and this academic culture has been inherited by today's generation. It is said that the main reason for Nagoya University's surge of progress is its free and vibrant academic culture.
Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and Universe (KMI)
The origin of matter and the universe is a subject that humanity has long pursued. The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) of Nagoya University, as an international research hub for particle physics and astrophysics, is challenging this proposition by gathering the wisdom of mankind across the boundaries of specialized fields, languages, and cultures. KMI was established in 2010 to build an interdisciplinary research base for particle physics and astrophysics research at Nagoya University. At present, KMI researchers lead the world in theoretical research that goes beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. In addition, KMI researchers play a central role in international experimental collaborations seeking new physics, such as the LHC-ATLAS experiments, Super B Factory, Super-Kamio- kande experiments, dark matter searches, and space observations. KMI brings together and stimulates cooperations among the human resourc- es who research through various methods, such as theoretical research, accelerator experiments, and space observation. KMI aims to be a research organization with dynamism only possible at Nagoya University. http://www.kmi.nagoya-u.ac.jp/eng/ Theomal history of the universe from the beginning to perserd
Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM)
The Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) was launched at Nagoya University in December 2012 and is supported by the World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI), the flagship program of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). ITbM aims to create a new interdisciplinary field of research through the collaboration of cutting-edge synthetic chemistry, animal/plant biology, and theoretical science, and to deliver bio-molecules to solve urgent problems, such as environmental issues, food production and medical technology that have a significant impact on society. ITbM has set up "Mix Labs", lab spaces where synthetic chemists and animal/plant biologists work next to each other, with theoretical scientists stuated nearby to enable interactive discussions. This has led to effective mixing of research areas by facilitating the collaboration of researchers from different disciplines, and many collaborative research projects have emerged in a bottom-up manner. Recently, ITbM has defined five new flagship research challenges: parasitic plants, chemis- try-enabled plant adaptation, clock diseases, chemistry-enabled live imaging and nanocarbon chemistry and
Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability (IMaSS)
The Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability carries out research in fields from materials and devices to systems toward achieving a sustainable society in harmony with the environment. It consists of the Center for integrated Research of Future Electronics (CIRFE), the Advanced Measurement Technology Center (AMTC), the Division of Materials Research, the Division of Systems Research, two Funded Research Divisions, and 10 Industry–Academia Collaborative Chairs. Here is an introduction to CIRFE [Director: Prof. Hiroshi Amano, awarded Nobel Prize in Physics 2014]. CIRFE was established in October 2015 to promote leading-edge electronics research on post-silicon materials, including gallium nitride (GaN), SiC, and carbon nanotubes and their devices as well to cultivate world-class human resources as future leaders of the electronics industry. In December 2018, the CIRFE Transformative Electronics Commons (C-TECs) were completed. Research in university laboratories, provided courses, and industry-academia collaborative courses are carried out in the C-TECs building. In April 2019, the CIRFE Transformative Electronics Facilities (C-TEFs), equipped with the world's only dean room specialized for GaN, started operation. C-TEFs have a well-organized environment for not only diode and transistor fabrication but also research and development on crystal growth, property evaluation, device design and processing, and vertical integration of circuits and systems. CIRFE will promote research activities at C-TECs and C-TEFs as two wheels for the rapid social implementation of next-generation semiconductors including GaN that can contribute to innovative energy saving toward realizing a carbon-free nagoya-u.ac.jp/ society. en/index.html Programs for Nurturing Future Global Leaders by Nagoya University Nagoya University has implemented the Top Global University Project. In terms of research its goal is the "enhancement of cutting-edge research at a world-class level," while in terms of education it aims to "become an attractive global university." Achieving these goals specifically in Asia, Nagoya Univer- sity is determined to become an "Asian hub university."
GTR
The Graduate Program of Transformative Chem-Bio Research (GTR) aims to develop researchers who will advance interdisciplinary frontiers and create the wisdom and knowledge of the future. The program provides a practical course to acquire the true research capabilities through challenging an exciting interdisciplinary research in different research environments under the guidance of double mentors https://www.itbm.nagoya-u.ac.jp/gtr/en/ CIBoG Marry of challenges we face in medicine today are no longer limited to national borders as is evident from our straggles against global scale infectious diseases. The CIBoG program aims to foster the development of researchers, administrators, and entrepreneurs with deep insight into informatics and biomedical sciences who can build a collaborative research system for big data analysis, create precision prevention systems, and promote their social implementation. https://cibog.med.nagoya-u.ac.jp/
