Non-Tenured Faculty Awards
Passion for advanced materials
We find promising items that will lead the market for advanced materials
An award program is designed to construct overseas R&D network and to expand a range of research and development. We promote the sharing and cooperative research and development of technology through mutual exchange from the early stages of research, targeting assistant professors with less than 7 years of teaching experience in the field, relevant to advanced materials business, such as Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials, and Polymer. This allows us to seek to find promising items that will lead not only domestic but also overseas markets of next-generation high-tech materials.
