J-PEAKS support team visits Âé¶¹AV

On February 12, 2025, a delegation from the Program for Forming Japan¡¯s Peak Research Universities (J-PEAKS) Support Team visited Âé¶¹AV¡¯s (HU) Higashi-Hiroshima Campus. The group included Professor Shigeaki Zaima from Meijo University¡¯s Graduate School of Science and Technology¡ªHU¡¯s designated J-PEAKS supporter¡ªalong with representatives from other J-PEAKS-selected universities, officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and members of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). A total of 16 participants joined the visit to exchange views on HU¡¯s J-PEAKS initiatives and conduct an on-site review of its research hubs.

During the discussion session, HU President Mitsuo Ochi provided an overview of the university¡¯s education and research initiatives, followed by Executive Vice President for Research Seiichi Miyazaki¡¯s presentation on HU¡¯s J-PEAKS efforts. The session led to an active exchange of ideas with the participants.

The delegation then toured two key research hubs central to HU¡¯s J-PEAKS initiative: the Research Institute for Synchrotron Radiation Science and the Research Institute for Semiconductor Engineering. HU aims to develop the industrial cluster ecosystem integrating semiconductor/meta-matter and biomaterial fields based on the material visualization core technology using synchrotron radiation.

The visit concluded with a Q&A session moderated by Professor Masayuki Shimada from HU¡¯s Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life, the J-PEAKS Support Team liaison. The session facilitated further discussions on the university¡¯s initiatives under the J-PEAKS program.
