TUT Research: e-Newsletter from Toyohashi University of Technology

The “e-Newsletter”, Toyohashi University of Technology (Toyohashi Tech)’s online magazine, has been relaunched.

Toyohashi Tech’s e-Newsletter was first published in October 2010 as an online magazine focusing on research review and international relations. A total of 18 issues have been published in this format. The e-Newsletter will now be rebranded as “TUT Research: e-Newsletter from Toyohashi University of Technology “with a refreshed content and web page design.

In the years since the launch of the original newsletter, Toyohashi Tech has significantly developed its international public relations capability. For example, we have created an English version of the official Toyohashi Tech Web site, established an English language presence on social media such as Facebook and Twitter, and provide university information bilingually (Japanese and English). Our efforts have been recognized and enhanced by the Japanese government, which recently awarded us Top Global University status.

Significant challenges remain however, such as the ever increasing need to publish our latest research achievements globally. In order to respond to this changing environment, Toyohashi Tech has decided to sharpen the focus of this online magazine to global research and international relations by relaunching the newsletter with a new name, content and design.

We sincerely hope that the renewed “TUT Research: e-Newsletter from Toyohashi University of Technology” will contribute to your research and technology development.

Thank you for your continuous subscription and support.
