TUT launch Research Institute for Science & Technology Innovation along with 16 innovative research projects

In April 2016 TUT unveiled a new strategic research institution along with, 16 cutting-edge and innovative research projects it will oversee. All of these projects are intended to be of social use, and are collaborative efforts with leading industry, companies and institutions. The projects were chosen carefully from 25 applications proposed by the board members of the institute, based on an analysis of various factors, such as an evaluation of matching funds with the collaboration partner, the mission and role, and the expected impact of the project.

Prestige lecture held in TUT by 2010 Nobel laureate Professor Akira Suzuki

Akira Suzuki, Nobel laureate in Chemistry 2010, was invited to TUT on 30th Jun 2016 to give a Prestige Lecture entitled “Cross-coupling Reactions of Organoboranes: An Easy Way for C-C Bonding”. This lecture was facilitated by the TUT leading graduate school program students and an interactive session with the program students was held after the lecture.

Before presenting the lecture, he had a chance to meet high school students invited to TUT from Asian countries. The students, from 9 top high schools across 5 different countries, were very excited by this rare opportunity and were greatly encouraged to come to Japan to study engineering, technology and science.
