Corporate…Funded Research ProgramsKobe University Strategic International Collaborative Research GrantKobe University aims to establish itself as a hub for the accumulation of world class knowledge. As part of our efforts to achieve this goal, we have set up our own strategic grant scheme for international joint research, which is called the ‘Kobe University Strategic International Collaborative Research Grant’. We have implemented the following three schemes to create and develop outstanding international collaborative research projects.Type A: International Co-authored Paper IncentiveKobe University promotes international collaborative research among all researchers by providing research incentive grants based on the quantity of international co-authored papers that have been written.Type B: Fostering Joint ResearchKobe University provides grants of up to five million yen per year for three years to research projects that aim to become world-class research centers. The grants fund research projects with around five researchers (including at least one young researcher) that aim to build international research networks.List of selected projects (FY2022-2024)AffiliationProjectPrincipal InvestigatorGraduate School of MedicineDevelopment of a global-standard, minimally invasive, functional brain network mapping technique for brain surgery videoMATSUMOTO RikiGraduate School of MedicineEstablishing an Asian network to develop a novel treatment for prostate cancer videoSHIGEMURA KatsumiGraduate School of EngineeringEstablishment of an international consortium on high refractive index nanoparticle nanoantenna videoSUGIMOTO HiroshiGraduate School of Agricultural ScienceEstablishment of an international agricultural research platform for sustainable food production videoFUJIMOTO RyoResearch Center for Urban Safety and SecurityElucidation of generation mechanism of great earthquakes in Japan, Mexico, and Chile videoYOSHIOKA ShoichiEngineering Biology Research CenterDevelopment of the next-generation bio-foundry through interdisciplinary co-creation videoHASUNUMA TomohisaResearch Center for Membrane and Film TechnologyAdvancing the realization of SDGs and carbon neutral society via the collaborative activities under the membrane international consortium on research and education videoMATSUYAMA HidetoType C: Creating Joint ResearchKobe University awards grants of up to five million yen to one-year research projects that promote international academic activities under their respective graduate school/research center’s strategy. Each project will strengthen the international research capabilities of its graduate school/research center by using the grant to employ international researchers.List of selected projects (FY2023)AffiliationProjectsPrincipal InvestigatorGraduate School of HumanitiesItalian-Japanese Project for Atmospheric StudiesHISAYAMA YuhoGraduate School of Intercultural StudiesComparative Studies of Literatures and AnthropologyUMEYA KiyoshiGraduate School of Human Development and EnvironmentResearch Network for Applied Human and Environmental Physiology in Asia and OceaniaKONDO NarihikoGraduate School of MedicineAutism gut-brain axisTAKUMI ToruGraduate School of Health SciencesDevelopment of a new strategy for healthy longevity by nanoparticleimmunity interactionMAESHIGE NoriakiGraduate School of EngineeringHighly Sensitive Chiral Sensing Utilizing NanoparticlesSUGIMOTO HiroshiGraduate School of Agricultural ScienceElucidation of disease resistance mechanisms in the genus BrassicaFUJIMOTO RyoGraduate School of International Cooperation StudiesThe Rule-based International Order after the Russian aggression of Ukraine: Multidisciplinary researchOKADA YoheiGraduate School of Science, Technology and InnovationEstablishment of a novel culture method for aerobic micro-organisms without aeration and its application to bioproductionYOSHIDA Ken'ichiResearch Center for Urban Safety and SecurityMachine learning applications to global flood risk assessmentTAKIGUCHI TetsuyaMolecular Photoscience Research CenterLow-frequency modes studied by Terahertz spectroscopy and solid-state density functional theoryTOMINAGA KeisukeEngineering Biology Research CenterDevelopment of next-generation bio-manufacturing technology by engineering biologyHASUNUMA TomohisaAdvanced Research Center for Well-beingDifferences and similarities of lifelong learning: International comparison of Japan and IrelandKATAGIRI KeikoResearch Institute for Economics and Business AdministrationEconomic evaluation of the informal economy in AfricaHAMAGUCHI NobuakiList of selected projects (FY2022)AffiliationProjectsPrincipalInvestigatorGraduate School of HumanitiesInternational expansion of research on Japanese languageTANAKA Shin'ichiGraduate School of Business AdministrationThe effect of climate change on organization design and corporate strategyMINAMI ChiekoGraduate School of ScienceFundamental study of artificial photosynthesis with seawaterONISHI HiroshiGraduate School of Maritime SciencesDevelopment of high power density electric power converters for low-carbonized data centerMISHIMA TomokazuGraduate School of International Cooperation StudiesAfter Ukraine: The resilience of the polar governance regimesSHIBATA AkihoResearch Institute for Economics and Business AdministrationInternational research network construction project in economics and business administrationYAMORI NobuyoshiCenter for Social Systems InnovationA Japan-Korea comparison of household behavior and parent-child relationSUZUKI KazumiEngineering Biology Research CenterEnvironmentally benign bio-production of functional materials through advanced metabolic engineeringHASUNUMA Tomohisaページの先頭へ1-1, Rokkodai-cho, Nada-ku, Kobe, 657-8501, JAPANWho we areStudy in KobeCampus lifeResearch and corporate relationsFaculties and schoolsProspective studentsCurrent studentsAlumsCorporate and societyFaculty and staffContactAccessJobsOfficial social media accountsCampus calendarPrivacy policySite policySite map© Kobe University
