JUNBA 2007
The First JUNBA Academia Summit and Symposium
We are honored to welcome you to the inaugural Japanese University Network in the Bay Area (JUNBA) Symposium on nano-material science, covering the latest advances in nanomaterials, nanobiology and nanotechnology.
As you might know, Japan's national universities were reorganized into independent semi-private institutions, in April of 2004. This immense change has created a greater priority among all universities in Japan to introduce programs that better tackle collaborative international research, a globalized economy, interdisciplinary study and other emerging trends.
Towards that, Japanese universities have started to launch overseas offices in China, Europe and the US. In particular, many have chosen the San Francisco - Bay Area, since this region has a highly-educated work force, an environment constantly pushing technology's capabilities, and the largest influx of venture capital in the world. Due to these "perfect storms", Japanese universities' Bay Area presence has increased rapidly in the past few years, leading to the creation of JUNBA in August 2006.
JUNBA aspires to speed up internationalization of Japanese universities, support exchange students, collaborate on science and technology symposia and increase the rate of technology transfer from Japanese universities. In order to be more effective, we are working closely with other universities, private companies, non-profit organizations and government offices. We sincerely hope that this new synergy will stimulate more collaborative education and research opportunities between the US and Japan.
We fervently hope that this symposium's cross-disciplinary approach will spark practical applications beyond academia and help develop such relationships. We look forward to meeting you.
