Through the use of funds, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app is implementing aid projects, such as those to support study abroad and scholarships and grants for students and researchers, which are aimed at the promotion and revitalization of its various activities related to education and research.
£¼The Ishii-Ishibashi Fund£¾
This grant was launched in 2015 with the aim of maintaining and improving the reputation of ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app in Japan and abroad, and contributing to the sustainable development of education, research, and medical care. Based on this grant, 7 projects have been developed to date (as of July 2024). Here, the achievements of each project up to now have been summarized, and significant outcomes will continue to be circulated in the future.
Through the president¡¯s initiative, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app will maintain and improve its reputation in Japan and overseas, and the following projects will be implemented with the aim of contributing to the sustainable development of its educational and research activities.
The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Affiliated Schools Study Abroad Program was founded in 2013 and sends third-year high school students, second-year high school students, second-year middle school students, and fifth-year elementary school students to prestigious boarding schools or equivalent educational institutions for a full academic year. The goal of the project is to have the best and brightest young minds from around the world given the opportunity to shape each other as they live their lives together and grow.
The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app School of Medicine special project for human resources development scholarship was established in 2015 as the School of Medicine¡¯s own scholarship and is guaranteed at the time of being accepted. This is a large-scale scholarship that awards about 10 students who achieve excellent grades in the entrance examination with a continuous payment of 2 million yen per year each for the first four year levels of study (total of 8 million yen). Just as Yukichi Fukuzawa once studied at the ¡°Tekijuku¡± where the elite from all across the nation gathered, the purpose is to provide generous support to the various elite students who have come from all over the country and to develop them into leaders in the medical world. Scholarship acceptance or rejection will be determined at the time of announcing the results for the entrance examinations.
In 2020, we launched a scholarship to support students who are actively engaged in international activities. Our goal is to train professionals who will play an active role across a wide range of fields as international leaders both in Japan and abroad.
The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Grant for Early Career Researchers is aimed at developing young researchers, primarily at the Faculty of Science and Technology and including the Shonan Fujisawa Campus, who being rich in talent and endowed with leadership skills will go on to shoulder the future of manufacturing. The following 2 projects are being implemented.
The global research development project aims at not only maintaining but also significantly enhancing ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app's reputation and status as an international research university in Japan and overseas, thereby contributing to its sustainable development in the future.
The ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app special projects for supporting emergency medical care systems was launched in the 2019 academic year with the aim of "improving the medical and health care functions of the School of Medicine and ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Hospital as well as contributing toward maintaining and developing emergency medical care systems, in particular to internationalize the hospital." In order to achieve the above objective, we are implementing the following two projects:
Specifically, in order to respond to the globalization of society as an advanced treatment hospital that provides a high level of medical care and to strengthen the accompanying emergency medical care systems, the projects will focus on securing and developing human resources and improving the medical care environment especially in departments that have many opportunities to engage in emergency medical care.
´ºÓêÖ±²¥app has established the Ishii-Ishibashi Laboratory at the School of Medicine. This endowed course is a collaborative venture in medicine and engineering jointly run by the School and Graduate School of Medicine and the Faculty and Graduate School of Science and Technology.
Both undergraduate faculties and graduate schools collaborate in establishing fields for research and education promotion and are mutually responsible for the selection of faculty members and the management and the evaluation of laboratories.
In recent years, medical-engineering collaboration has grown beyond the conventional model of engineering meeting the needs of medical research. Recent collaborations have expanded into a number of new areas, including robotics and cognitive science as well as AI and big data.
By establishing this course, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app aims to create a world-leading model of medical-engineering collaboration that contributes to the progress of medicine and medical care, the development of the science and technology that supports medicine and medical care, and the furthering of professional development through cutting-edge research and education.
