Kumadai Hub
About Us
Kumadai-Hub is a voluntary organization of volunteer "self-proclaimed" young researchers and students at Kumamoto University that has been going on since December 2019.
We use the term "self-proclaimed" because the definition of "young" is ambiguous, so our members gather as "people who have a fresh mind".
It was started by the free will of researchers and people from various professions involved in research, and has grown to about 140 members (as of May 2023) over the past few years or so.
The purpose of this gathering is to create a place for free exchange regardless of campus or field.
Although there is a possibility that "fusion of different fields" and "joint research" may emerge in the future, we continue our activities with the appeal that we do not set this as our primary objective.
We will contribute to achieving the SDGs!
Learn about research activities in various fields
Interaction among researchers and with companies to foster the seeds of discovery and technology through mutual stimulation and joint research
To provide a place for human networking with the aim of energizing Kumamoto and Japan
Main Activities
Daily Communication
We have a slack for talking, asking for help, or sometimes just inviting for lunch together.
Exchange Meetings
We have meetings every three months for exchange and discussions.
Public Event
Once or twice a year, we plan and implement an event that is open to a variety of people from inside and outside the university.
