Regional Development Department
The Regional Development Department serves as a point of contact between private businesses or local governments and Iwate University. We are building a network that brings together industry, government, academia, and private finance, including financial institutions, to engage in matching Iwate University research projects to local needs. We also arrange for municipal staff from five cities in Iwate to work as research collaborators within the organization (see “Collaborative Research with Municipalities under Mutual Friendship and Cooperative Agreements” on page xx). This is a practical activity with partner municipalities in order to advance post-disaster reconstruction and local development projects in partnership with industry, academia, and government.
Technical consultation and inquiries on collaborative research
The department is the contact point for various technical inquiries. We are ready to provide immediate technical consultation and respond to inquiries on collaborative research. In addition to individual consultations, we organize consultation meetings in which faculty members of Iwate University respond to requests by private businesses (or individuals) for specialized advice from multiple faculty members or for opinions from experts in different fields.
For consultation, call the Regional Development Department for consultation at 019-621-6492 or e-mail ccrd-ad@iwate-u.ac.jp
Network of industry, government, academia, private-finance and research projects
The Council for Promoting Industry-Academia Partnership in Iwate (hereafter Liaison-I) has been established to spread research initiatives from universities to local businesses efficiently in partnership with the Bank of Iwate. Participating institutions include Iwate Prefectural University, National Institute of Technology, Ichinoseki College, Tohoku Agricultural Research Center, Iwate Industrial Research Institute, Iwate Biotechnology Research Center, Iwate Agricultural Research Center, Iwate Prefectural Forestry Technology Center, Iwate Fisheries Technology Center, Kita-Nippon Bank, and the Development Bank of Japan.
Liaison-I organizes an event every year for matching research initiatives and business needs. Financial institutions also target companies that have engaged in outstanding collaborative research activities leading to the creation of businesses or products and carry out a program to provide funding for their R&D projects. Liaison-I also hosts over 50 seminars a year in various parts of Iwate through partnerships with the Iwate Network System. In addition, in partnership with the Organization for Research Promotion, Liaison-I participates in exhibitions in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including Innovation Japan (Tokyo) and Technical Show Yokohama, to demonstrate on a national level the outstanding research results of the university.
