“Institute for Advanced Study” Support Fund

SHIRATANI Masaharu Dean of IAS

Since its establishment in 2009, the Kyushu University Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) has been committed to educating students and conducting research activities with the goal of fostering young researchers who will make great strides in the world and returning the results of their research to society at large.
And then, since FY2022, we have inherited the legacy of the Inamori Frontier Research Center (closed on March 31, 2022) and are rebuilding the center as a "knowledge platform" to attract and train outstanding young researchers and to interact with top-level researchers in the university to pioneer new academic fields.
As a university-wide initiative, the Institute for Advanced Study will take the lead in implementing the Inamori Frontier Program (international recruitment and hiring of outstanding young researchers) and the International Research Leadership Training Program (support for acquiring research leadership skills), but we will also develop other unique and advanced educational and research activities.
We will continue to engage in high-level education and research activities to nurture human resources who will contribute to society and play an active role internationally in various fields of natural and social sciences.

We would appreciate your understanding of the activities of Institute for Advanced Study, which focuses on fostering human resources for the future of Japan and the world, and your support through "Kyushu University Institute for Advanced Study Activity Fund."
