Under the J-PEAKS project, Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) has established six new interdisciplinary research units. These units were selected through an internal call for proposals under the university's own "Research Unit Development Support Program", which aims to simultaneously deepen academic fields leveraging NUT's strengths and create entirely new academic domains.

This event was held with the aim of further promoting interdisciplinary research through introductions of each research unit and opportunities for interaction with new faculty members who joined the university midway through last academic year or at the start of this academic year.

On the day of the event, the representatives from Akita International University, Osaka Metropolitan University, and Niigata University of Pharmacy and Medical Life Sciences—all partner universities of J-PEAKS—joined the event online. Together with the on-site participants, they engaged in a lively Q&A session regarding the research, making it a very meaningful occasion.

NUT will continue to foster connections among researchers and, building on the J-PEAKS initiative, work to create unprecedented new interdisciplinary research fields.
