Introduction to the Center of Excellence, Kyushu UNIV.

New Fellowship Program has started！

We will develop researchers with unique methods of generating research ideas that can play a role in future innovation in Japan's industries. University researchers in multiple fields and companies covering a wide range of fields will come together to create a new support model for young researchers with financial and career support and contribute to realizing a healthy society in the future.

COE Programs in Japan and Our Achievements

In the mid-1990s, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology started the Center of Excellence (COE) program to nurture research and education institutions that possess the world’s highest competitiveness in Japan. Since then, the domestic universities that are exceptionally active and potential have been competing to achieve COEs so that the faculty can step up their research and create creative human resources that would lead the world. Until now, the Department of Applied Chemistry faculty at Kyushu University has been continuing to advance research activities and the educational program. With these, we have had to endure the harsh competition and receive the honor of selection in chemistry/materials science COE. The programs we have accomplished include the 21st century COE “Functional Innovation of Molecular Informatics,” the global COE “Science for Future Molecular Systems,” etc.

2013, the Kyushu University Leading Graduate Schools “Advanced Graduate Course on Molecular Systems for Devices” was launched. This education program aims to train super leaders who can work internationally with a pioneering spirit. With the program, we hope that every student will be able to see the bigger picture in research or development while boosting the scientific potential, particularly in the field of “molecular system devices.” The final goal is to have super leaders with cutting-edge knowledge of molecular system devices, exceptionally enthusiastic attitudes, and trained personnel in research management. We hope you will study with us in the particular COE program.
