Nagoya University | Japan

Nagoya University originally existed as a medical school approximately 135 years ago until it became one of the imperial universities in 1939. In those nearly 70 years of history, Nagoya University has generated a truly remarkable number of outstanding results in research and development and has nurtured and developed people who can contribute to society. We believe these shining successes were founded on an open academic atmosphere, of which the university can justly take pride, and realized through the presence of outstanding educators and researchers - the well-springs of knowledge - coupled with an unwavering belief in the importance of fostering freedom of thought as we push forward. It is through the creative activities at the forefront of education and research, in the whole spectrum of our activities in the humanities, social sciences, and natural science, that Nagoya University develops "courageous intellectuals" with the courage imbued with the sense of humanity needed to stand at the forefront of knowledge creation and shoulder the burdens of the future
