UoM Signs Comprehensive Agreement with Kadogawa Township

2017/06/06 published

On June 5, 2017, the University of Miyazaki signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the municipal government of Kadogawa, Miyazaki Prefecture. The previous year UoM and the Kadogawa government launched a research project to showcase the value of the Japanese murrelet bird indigenous to the area as well as another project to convey the diversity of the local sea food. Through these efforts, the partnership between the two sides was strengthened.

The new agreement will strengthen the initiatives to date and also aims for a broader partnership. Plans call for four areas in particular to be the focus of activities during fiscal 2017 (listed bdlow), based on the key concepts of "Polishing the local image," "Conveying Kadogawa's charms to those inside and outside Japan," and "Educating the younger generation."

①   Project to showcase the charms of the Japanese murrelet (Person in charge: Professor Sakamoto of the Faculty of Agriculture)
②   Project to convey the diversity of the local sea food (Person in charge: Professor Murase of the Faculty of Agriculture)
③   Project to use ICT to convey the charms of Kadogawa (Person in charge: Professor Kanaoka of the Faculty for Regional Innovation)
④   Global Camp in Kadogawa (Person in charge: Professor Ito of the Center for International Relations)

本学が県内市町村と連携協定を締結するのは今回が8例目。平成28年度からは「地域資源創成学部」を新たに設置するなど、これまで以上に地域に貢献できる大学を目指すとともに、活力のある地域を創成できる人材を育成していくこととしている。
