We are pleased to report that IVReD held the Specially Appointed Faculty Encouragement Research seminar on July 3rd. The five faculty members selected for the 2023 academic year presented their research results and engaged in an active question and answer session with the evaluators.

Specially Appointed Faculty Encouragement Research (Collaborative Research) encourages voluntary research activities by specially appointed faculty members who promote research at IVReD, as long as it does not affect the research and development of the core project.　To maintain a higher level of research and development, the program aims to form partnerships with researchers inside and outside the university, to acquire a wide range of advanced specialized knowledge and applied skills, and to become researchers who can flexibly respond to changes in society.
