＊This is a provisional translation and subject to change. Greeting from the President
As the President of Nagoya University, I offer you my most sincere greetings. I assumed the post of President in April 2009, and this year will be my final one.
Throughout its history, Nagoya University has done its utmost to maintain a free and vibrant academic culture. As an educational institution, we aim to cultivate what we call “courageous intellectuals”: social contributors endowed with the powers of rational thought and creative imagination. Today, we are taking new steps to become a globalized university where students are able to acquire comprehensive knowledge, develop personal ethics, and aspire to international careers.
This year, we have set ourselves the challenge of addressing the “Super Global University” initiative. This initiative has three main aims. First, to expand the G30 program, which began in October 2011 and offers degree programs taught entirely in English. Second, to establish satellite campuses in Asia, which we will be the first among Japanese universities to attempt, and begin offering doctoral programs aimed at high-ranking administrators. Over the past 20 years, Nagoya University has laid stress on fostering outstanding human resources in Asia. As a result, NU graduates are currently playing key roles at vice-ministerial and director-general level in many countries. The majority of these students, who studied in Japan with the support of JICA, returned to their home countries after finishing their master’s programs. Although many of them would like to continue their education further, it is difficult for them to study for a doctoral program because they play such an important role in their country's government. Nagoya University hopes to offer an opportunity for these talented people to continue their research, utilizing teaching locally and in Japan, making full use of ICT for distance learning and research supervision, and letting students publish papers in international journals, thereby conferring doctoral degrees upon them. In the near future, they will contribute further to their countries with doctoral degrees from NU. The third aim is to have Nagoya University become an Asian hub university. The main purpose of establishing satellite campuses in Asia is to strengthen the relationships between key Asian universities, as bases to which our Japanese students can be dispatched and as points to strengthen collaboration with outstanding Asian universities.
This is to be my final year, and I would like to contribute as much as possible to the development of Nagoya University.
I cordially invite you to join us at Nagoya and explore the “traditional” free and vibrant academic culture in the very central part of exciting Japan.

However, University Professor Isamu Akasaki remained steadfast in his research for 20 years. In 1989, he succeeded in becoming the first to achieve the goal of producing a new light source for the 21st century.
Professor Akasaki achieved this by using the compound gallium nitride (GaN), Dr. Isamu AKASAKI revolutionizing the field of semiconductor research. Blue LEDs offer immeasurable benefits to society, and are utilized today in a wide range of technologies such as traffic lights, large-scale display monitors, next-generation optical memory discs, and even home lighting. The applicability of GaN and related semiconductors does not end with its use in light sources. It is also expected that they can be applied to such technologies as ultra high-speed, high-power transistors and UV detectors, which will be indispensable in an IT-based society.
During his life as a researcher, Professor Akasaki held fast to his idea that “Once you’ve resolved to accomplish something, never give up.”
Among the many awards he has received, in 2004, in honor of the research results he achieved with such unwavering resolve, he was recognized as a Person of Cultural Merit by the Japanese government for his significant contributions to culture.

Nobel Prize in Physics, 2008
In October 2008, the Academy announced its award of the Nobel Prize in Physics to three esteemed scientists: Yoichiro Nambu (USA), and Nagoya University graduates Toshihide Maskawa, a Distinguished Invited University Professor at Nagoya University, professor emeritus at Kyoto University, and professor of physics at Kyoto Sangyo University, and Makoto Kobayashi, professor emeritus at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). The two Nagoya University scientists received the Nobel
Dr. Maskawa and Dr. Kobayashi Prize for forecasting, over three decades ago, “the discovery of the origin of the broken while attending graduate school symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature.” In 1972, the two presented their Kobayashi-Maskawa theory, which states that CP symmetry violation can be explained with six types of quarks, one of the subatomic particles that constitute matter. This theory was proved in 1995 with the discovery of the sixth quark, known as the top quark. Among the numerous theories attempting to explain CP symmetry violation, the Kobayashi-Maskawa theory remains the most concise and well-formed, and today is one of the key components of the standard model of particle physics. Professor Maskawa graduated from Nagoya University’s School of Science in 1962. After completing his doctoral course in science in 1967, he continued his career as a research associate in the science department, then as a professor of the Institute of Nuclear Study at the University of Tokyo and later as a professor at Kyoto University’s Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP). In 2003, he became a professor at Dr. Ryoji NOYORI Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 2001 Kyoto Sangyo University's Faculty of Science, and in October 2007 was appointed In October 2001, the Royal Swedish Academy announced its award of the Nobel Prize Distinguished Invited University Professor at Nagoya University. 1967 Ph.D., Kyoto University 1968 Associate Professor of Chemistry, in Chemistry to Dr. Ryoji Noyori and Dr. W.

On April 1, 2012, the National Composites Center (NCC) was founded at Nagoya University. Although carbon fiber (CF) manufacturing industries in Japan are considered to be one of its strongest fields, due to the fact that Japanese CF Disaster Mitigation Research Center (DMRC) industries have a 70% share of the world market, we cannot necessarily state that carbon/polymer composite processing industries in Japan are strong enough when On January 1, 2012, the Disaster Mitigation Research Center (DMRC) was founded compared with the situation of their European counterparts. In order to activate at Nagoya University.

Due to recent advances in health care, the rate of mortality from infectious disease in developing countries has been improving. On the other hand, mortality from all forms of malignant neoplasms, including gastrointestinal cancer, has become a major problem worldwide. Early diagnosis is critical in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, but there are many patients who do not receive the appropriate medical care because of a shortage of doctors who are qualified to perform a gastrointestinal endoscopy. In order to solve this problem, the training of doctors is an important issue. Japanese gastrointestinal endoscopy techniques are among the most advanced in the world, and this is useful for the early diagnosis and treatment of various digestive diseases. The “Nagoya Endoscopy Training Center” was opened at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Vietnam in September 2013, for the purpose of disseminating the endoscopic diagnosis and treatment techniques that have been developed by Nagoya University School of Medicine's Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology to Asian countries. This Center boasts state-of-the-art endoscopy systems, and many young doctors can receive instruction on the techniques of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment here as well as at Nagoya University itself. The Center offers two courses, basic and advanced, according to participants' English levels. The doctors who study at this Center can provide the highest quality care in diagnosis and treatment by gastrointestinal endoscopy. This is the first step to promote the possibilities of the gastrointestinal endoscopy techniques originating in Japan to Asian countries and to contribute to the improvement of their health care. We are planning to set up an Asian network of endoscopy centers and expand this project to other cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as further to other countries. Our President Hamaguchi and Professor Maskawa, the Nobel Prize laureate, visited Nagoya Endoscopy Training Center at Hue and believe that it will become the one of the best training centers in Asia. Nagoya Endoscopy Training Center, supported by Nagoya University School of Medicine’s Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, is central to the treatment and diagnosis of digestive diseases and contributes to health care worldwide. 国際協力

Nagoya
Located in the heart of Japan, the Chubu region has played a Tokyo central role in Japan’s history and has long enjoyed a flourishing Osaka culture and economy. The area is well known as the home of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the three leaders who unified Japan over 400 years ago, bringing an end to the “Period of Warring States.” Nagoya Castle, originally built by Tokugawa Ieyasu and famous for the pair of golden dolphins on top of its donjon, serves as the region’s landmark.
Today, this vibrant metropolis occupies an important place in Japan’s political and economic spheres. With a population of 2.2 million, Nagoya is the nerve center of the Chubu Industrial Zone, a merger of both traditional and modern industries, most notably the automotive industry. Nagoya offers a variety of urban conveniences, with shops, restaurants and leisure activities that cater to any taste, making it an exciting place to live, work and study.
