Atsuo Iiyoshi, President and President of Chubu University, was awarded the title of Honorary Doctorate by the Russian Academy of Sciences.This was due to the recognition of its contribution to fusion and plasma research, which aims to realize fusion energy, and its contribution to global university education and research and development.When attending an international conference hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, a certificate was handed over by former President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
From 1989 to 1999, President Iiyoshi was the first director of the Institute for Fusion Science (currently a research institute of the National Institute of Natural Sciences) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and heliotron based on Japan's unique helical magnetic field coordination. Promote research. In 1990, we started a large-scale project centered on the world's largest large helical device (LHD) using superconducting technology, and completed construction as planned in 1998.The results of subsequent plasma experiments have given new values to this field.Helical research is also active in Russia, and the results of research cooperation with Russia were reflected in the evaluation.
On the other hand, since 1999, Chubu University has greatly contributed to the enhancement and development of education and research, and the promotion of university-originated projects represented by high-temperature superconducting DC power transmission.In Russia, the state-owned power transmission giant ROSSETI is actively developing high-temperature superconducting power transmission technology. A memorandum of understanding on R & D cooperation was signed between Rossseti and Chubu University at the Eastern Economic Forum, where President Putin and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the summit meeting in September 2017.These achievements were also the evaluation points for the awarding of an honorary doctorate.Currently, the launch of a concrete joint project that goes one step further between Chubu University and Los Seti is under consideration.
