In April, the Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University and the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu University will establish a resource-based education consortium in collaboration with 4 private companies and 17 public institutions.Build a human network between Japan and resource-rich countries, and develop experts who will be responsible for the stable supply and securing of resources.
According to Kyushu University, Kumagai Gumi, Penta-Ocean Construction, Sojitz, Sumitomo Metal Mining, Mitsubishi Materials, etc. from private companies participate in the consortium, and the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals Mineral Resources Organization, and international cooperation from public institutions.

In addition to supporting overseas dispatch of students and internships at companies, we will develop new career recurrent education in the field of resource engineering by inviting experts from companies to hold lectures.Workshops and symposiums will also be held to share information related to resources.
In a zero-carbon society aiming for virtually zero carbon dioxide emissions, human resources who promote the development of new technology related to resources and the construction of new systems are indispensable.The Graduate School of Engineering, Hokkaido University and the Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu University started a sustainable resource-related human resources development program in 2015, and in 2017, established the first joint education course for resource engineering education in Japan.
In the joint education course, we have invited university faculty members and government officials from resource-rich countries as international students, and have also promoted overseas dispatch of Japanese students and lectures by invited faculty members from overseas universities. Decided to establish.
