Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) has been extensively moving forward on developing its research education system consisting of Science of Technology Innovation and world-wide strategic offices, through collaborating with KOSEN (National Institute of Technology / College of Technology) in Japan, domestic and foreign universities, research institutions, and regional companies.
STI-Gigaku conference aims at achieving Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs), which are the collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations, by sharing research progress and achievements with all the above respective parties in related fields, sectors, and nationalities. 4th STI-Gigaku 2019 continues to discuss issues and seek answers on the global topics such as energy, climate change, poverty, and hunger along with SDGs to bring the change into the society, besides to uplift awareness on SDGs nationwide and worldwide.
In recognition of our various progress and initiative movement toward SDGs, NUT was proudly designated as the Hub for SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) from UNAI in August 2018 to share its best practices and experiences on respective activities to lead the world in society. Furthermore, NUT’s new program, “Global Pro-Active Root Technology Program”, was selected as “Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education(WISE)” in 2018 by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). This program, as a prominent feature, aims at contributing to solution of SDGs by producing professionals with profound knowledge of fundamental technology, which is the basis of industries related to the intermix of materials science and power engineering.
