From FY 2013-FY 2017, the project called “Center for the Project to Create Research and Educational Hubs for Innovative Manufacturing in Asia” were implemented to establish new joining and welding technologies, to create research networks, and to cultivate global leaders in the region. Since FY 2018 namely the second phase, based on the research network established through former activities, the project has been continued to strengthen and obtain higher international competency both in institution wide and in university wide through high quality international collaborative research achieved by having organic cooperation with ASEAN Campus Programme and with Global Knowledge Partners promoted by Osaka University.
As in detail, two pillars are set as follows: 1) Strengthen International Collaborative Research: Increase number of co-authored papers by implementing international collaborative research with overseas universities, establish international joint laboratory, 2) Conduct practical Global Leader Training: Implement Inbound & Outbound Coupling Internship (CIS) takes place both overseas and domestic which is composed of students from different majors and different cultures.
