Priority Organization for
  Innovation and Excellence

Graduate School Lead Organization was established to contribute to the enhancement and development of educational research activities at Kumamoto University. It does so by enriching and improving the graduate schools, and by promoting the world’s most advanced COE (Center of Excellence) Studies program, a highly evaluated program that encompasses life science, natural science, social and cultural sciences and interdisciplinary, multiple, or new disciplines base on organic cooperation between the fundamental sciences and the applied sciences. This has brought the creation of the new COE, a new research center and several new graduate courses (majors). Kumamoto University established the Graduate School Lead Organization and enacted its regulations in April 2007, enriching the research promotion cited above.

Our proposal of the project, “Institutional Reforms to Establish a Personal Support System For Creative Young Researchers,” has been adopted by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports Science and Technology to be a part their “Promotion of the General Improvement of Self-Reliant Research from Young Researchers ”program, which was funded by an Special Coordination Fund for Science and Technology for fiscal year 2007.
