As one of Japan’s leading comprehensive research universities, Nagoya University spans a wide range of research fields, from basic to applied sciences, and prides itself on its strength in conducting systematic and strategic collaborative research that leverages its comprehensive capabilities. Particularly in industry-academia-government collaboration, the university shares a long-term vision with companies and local governments and builds cross-disciplinary research frameworks to vigorously promote the creation of innovative technologies and their implementation in society.
We have also established a system where universities and companies collaborate on an “organization-to-organization” basis, with multiple departments and laboratories working together as a unified team to advance research and development. This framework enables the resolution of large-scale, multidisciplinary challenges—which were difficult to address through traditional individual-researcher-based collaborations—and provides consistent support from the creation of research outcomes through to their practical application.
Furthermore, we provide comprehensive support ranging from pre-contract negotiations to research progress management and the utilization of results, ensuring peace of mind for corporate partners and transparency in research.
We also contribute to “next-generation innovation talent development,” where companies and young researchers collaborate to create new value. Through these initiatives, Nagoya University offers flexible research models tailored to the diverse needs of companies, contributing to the resolution of societal challenges and the strengthening of industrial competitiveness.
By pooling its research capabilities and organizational collaboration as a comprehensive university, Nagoya University continues to promote the creation of new value through joint research as an innovation partner that pioneers the future alongside industry.
