In February 2026, a new manufacturing base, \"L-LAB,\" was established at Akita International University (AIU), a partner university, and commenced operations at the end of March as a collaborative branch of Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"L-LAB\" is a fabrication space equipped with digital machine tools, serving as a creative space where students can freely shape their ideas. The establishment of this branch will further expand the network of the J-PEAKS project promoted by NUT, and is expected to generate new innovations through the fusion of \"manufacturing\" and \"liberal arts\" that transcends the boundaries of humanities and sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, both universities will make maximum use of their combined resources to further promote efforts to solve regional issues, foster creative human resources with a global perspective, and advance international academic collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
