Kansai University, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, and Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University signed a cooperation and promotion agreement on December 2018, 12.We will promote mutual cooperation in education, research, and social contribution projects in the field of "medical-engineering-pharmaceutical linked science," which integrates medicine, engineering, pharmacy, and nursing, which have been built among the three universities.
This agreement was adopted in 2009 and is to further develop and conclude the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Strategic University Collaboration Support Program for Enhancing University Education" project, which has continued for 10 years.Based on the jointly organized "Three Universities Medical, Industrial and Pharmaceutical Research Organization", we expanded educational programs to support mutual understanding in the fields of medicine, engineering, and pharmacy, and included young researchers including undergraduate and graduate students. We will foster a place for creating flexible joint research and return the results to society.
Since 3, the three universities have signed agreements and memorandums on timely academic exchanges and have been working toward the development and enhancement of education and research.With the adoption of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology project, the "Medical and Industrial Medicine Linkage Science Education and Research Organization" was launched at three universities, and from 2003, active research exchanges between researchers including undergraduate and graduate students We have held a meeting every year.In 3, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Commendation for Science and Technology Award (understanding promotion category) was awarded for collaborative activities that make the best use of the characteristics of each university.
Regarding this collaboration, the presidents of each university commented as follows.Keiji Shibai, President of Kansai University, said, "I am aware that the development of the science and engineering field of our university is due to this exchange, and that we have been led by both universities through the fusion of the medical and pharmaceutical fields. We want to build an advanced and close relationship while helping each other. ”Kansai University President Katsunori Otsuki“ Kansai University's know-how in the manufacturing field and Osaka Pharmaceutical University's knowledge of drug discovery are combined to create medical and engineering drugs. We would like to further deepen the research exchange of the link and provide something that is beneficial to the citizens. ”President Mikio Masada, Osaka Pharmaceutical University“ Nothing can be done in one specialized field. The power of science and engineering in the development of pharmaceutical and medical equipment. Is necessary. In an era when medical and engineering medicines must be used for the development of medical care. We would like to cooperate so that this relationship can be continued for many years in the future.
