Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability
(IMaSS)
IMaSS is engaged in fundamental research on elemental technologies including advanced materials and devices, and system technologies toward practical deployment in society. The Center for Integrated Research of Future Electronics (CIRFE), established in the IMaSS in FY 2015, is expected to develop new power devices with gallium nitride semiconductor through joint research in collaboration with research consortiums throughout Japan. http://www.imass.nagoya-u.ac.jp/en/index.htm
National Composite Center (NCC)
The carbon fiber (CF) manufacturing industries in Japan are considered to be one of its strongest fields, holding a 70% share of the world market. NCC focuses on automotive and aerospace industries, which are based in the Greater Nagoya Area and which lead the world in their respective fields.
Institutes of Innovation for Future Society
For the contribution and support to the convenient life in future society, research and development at Nagoya University has been actively incorporated in the society through industry-university collaboration with the concept of "under one roof." 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.
Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM)
ITbM is a WPI research center, whose goal is to create "transforma- tive bio-molecules", molecules that change the way we live. Through the dynamic collaboration between synthetic chemistry and animal/plant biology, ITbM aims to create a new area of research that will address urgent issues on the environment and food production. ITbM received the highest score for WPI's interim evaluation in 2016. *WPI : World Premier International Research Center Initiative, the flagship project of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
Disaster Mitigation Research Center (DMRC)
Since Nagoya area is the center of industrial production in Japan, natural hazard risks due to the high possibility of large earthquakes, destructive floods, and storms may cause a serious crisis at a national level. DMRC, which brings together experts with various backgrounds such as engineering, earth science, social science and humanities, promotes cooperative multidisciplinary research for developing a state-of-the-art disaster mitigation model and applying it to ensure safety and security of the local community. ■■ Green Mobility Research Institute (GREMO) http://www.gremo.mirai.nagova-u.ac.jp/6 ■ Mobility Innovation Center - Empowering an aging society through advanced mobility - (COI Stream : Center of Innovation NU Hub) ■ Human Machine Harmonization System consortium (HMHS) http://www.hmhs.jp/ Nurturing Future Global Leaders by Nagoya University Fresh Insights, Intellectual Stimulation, and a Global Perspective through Student Exchange (NUPACE) Established in February 1996, NUPACE is an academic student exchange program through which international students enrolled at partner Nagova University's institutions can study in Japan for four to twelve months http://nupace.ecis.nagoya-u.ac.jp/en/
