Fukuoka industry-academia Symphonicity (FiaS) Introduction to the Ito Campus and Open Learning Plaza

The Ito Campus covers a wide, 275 ha area stretching that straddles Nishi-ku in Fukuoka City and Itoshima City. Located west of Hakata Bay nearly in the center of Itoshima Peninsula, the campus is approximately 15 km from Tenjin in central Fukuoka. While it has the convenience of being on the outskirts of a large city, the campus offers a tranquil environment that overlooks the Genkai Sea and retains an abundance of nature. The region is steeped in history and has numerous historic ruins that indicate the area has long bustled with the comings and goings of people. Laboratories for the Exclusive Use of Students Conducting Demonstration Experiments

Fukuoka industry-academia Symphonicity (FiaS), located at Ito Campus Science Park, adjacent to the Kyushu University Ito Campus, is positioned as a base for the industry- government-academia collaboration implementation period for 4th and 5th year students, and a laboratory for the exclusive use of students have been provided here.
