Gifu University Fund, "Valor and V Drug Overseas Training Scholarship" Report Session

Since 2014, Gifu University has been providing with students Gifu University Fund called the "Valor and V Drug Overseas Training Scholarship" thanks to the generous donations from Valor Holdings and CHUBU YAKUHIN CO, LTD. The purpose of the scholarship is to help graduate students take courses for credits and engage in research activities at universities or institutions overseas.

On Monday, March 13, 2023, Ms. ITO Mone (first-year student of the Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, a recipient of the scholarship) visited Donyousha Human Resource Development Center of Valor Holdings, and reported her experiences of studying at the University of Texas at Austin (Texas, United States) from October 30, 2022 through January 27, 2023.

At the University of Texas at Austin, Ms. Ito studied and carried out experiments on catalytic reaction at Dr. Michael J. Krische1 Laboratory. Her research theme is "Synthesis of bidentate ligand based on imidazo [1,5-a] pyridine carbene and application of its ruthenium complex to catalyses." Ms. Ito made a presentation on her research achievements and life in the United States before Mr. TASHIRO Masami, President and CEO of Valor Holdings.

"Human resources are one of the most important elements for success. I hope Ms. Ito makes the most of her experiences and continues to pursue dreams overseas," said Mr. Tashiro to Ms. Ito.

Gifu University Fund supports students in their endeavors to achieve their goals and success in the future.
