Certification Ceremony for "Professor of Industrial Collaboration" and "Distinguished Laboratory of Industrial Collaboration"

The Certification Ceremony for "Professor of Industrial Collaboration," and "Distinguished Laboratory of Industrial Collaboration" was held on Wednesday, June 1, 2022.

The number of joint research activities with private enterprises and research programs commissioned by the private sector has been steadily rising every year, reflecting business community's strong interest in tapping into academic and human resources of Japanese educational institutions.

Since April 2021, special titles, "Professor of Industrial Collaboration" and "Distinguished Laboratory of Industrial Collaboration" are conferred on the University's academic staff members if they receive funding that exceeds the university's cap on receiving funds for joint/commissioned projects from private enterprises and organizations. We expect that conferring special titles to outstanding faculty members further accelerates collaboration between industry and academia.

In the ceremony, President Kazuhiro Yoshida handed the certificates to the following professors who are acknowledged as recipients of the titles:

- Associate Professor Kojiro Matsushita (Faculty of Engineering) appointed as "Professor of Industrial Collaboration"

- Professor Daisuke Yabe (Graduate School of Medicine) assigned for "Distinguished Laboratory of Industrial Collaboration"

- Professor Shintaro Hisatake (Faculty of Engineering) assigned for "Distinguished Laboratory of Industrial Collaboration"

"I wish you all the best for the new responsibilities and your commitments to work for Gifu University as our role model." said President Yoshida.

We continue stepping up our efforts to "give back to a community" through robust industry-academia collaboration in the days to come.
