2021 Regional Revitalization Forum
How does Regional Revitalization Confront Aging and Declining Populations?
~The challenge of the Regional University~
"Regional Revitalization" is one of key policy in Japanese which aim of resolving some of the problems facing East Asia, including population decline, an aging population combined with a low birth rate, and declining regional economies. In this seminar, we discussed the role of higher education for its promotion.
8th Sakura Science Program
"Kuroshio Science Program (Ph.D)" (Formerly "Graduate School of Kuroshio Science"), Kochi University was established in 2004. The concepts of nurturing younger scientist were "interdisciplinary consideration" and "scientific cosmopolitan". Collaborating with Taiwanese and Filipino universities and organizations, we have been sharing and discussing achievement of sustainable society by natural science and social science researches and cross-border educational activities.
This year's program provides plenary leture, "Ion Microprobe Analysis of Biological Hard Tissue", reports of "Four-Dimensional Kuroshio Marine Science (4D-KMS) research project" for basic reserch of marine minerals and biological resource researches, reports of "Integrated Coastal Management project" for sustainable development of coastal area, recent research activities by our graduates, educational approach to regional revitalization and other related research and educational activities.
