On November 29, 2021, a signing ceremony was held at Nagoya City University (Sakurayama Campus) to commence comprehensive collaboration between Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT) and Nagoya City University (NCU). President Kazuhiko Terashima, President Kenjiro Kori, and other staff from both universities attended the ceremony and signed the agreement.
After the signing ceremony, a symposium commemorating the conclusion of the comprehensive collaboration agreement, "New Challenges for Pharmaceutical and Industrial Collaboration," was held at the university, with about 70 public and university staff attending.
At this symposium, Professor Shigeki Nakauchi of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering gave a lecture entitled "Human Understanding in the Age of Artificial Intelligence," and Associate Professor Rika Numano of the Department of Applied chemistry and Life Science gave a lecture entitled "Safe iPS Cells Made with Numbing Electricity.
Following the lecture, a panel discussion entitled "How Collaboration between TUT and NCU can Change the Future of the Pharmaceutical and Engineering Fields". Speaking on behalf of TUT at this lively gathering were Professor Kazutaka Shibatomi of the Electronics-Inspired Interdisciplinary Research Institute (EIIRIS), Associate Professor Takeshi Kawano of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Information Engineering, and Associate Professor Moeto Nagai of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
By the terms of this agreement, TUT and NCU will promote collaboration focusing on each university’s areas of specialization; robotics, sensing, IoT, and AI for TUT and medicine and pharmaceuticals for NCU. Both universities will welcome visiting faculty members to promote joint research that fuses different fields. In addition, they will also collaborate in education, including the mutual dispatch of faculty members to lecture courses at graduate schools. The project also includes making use of TUT's robot technology in medical facilities such as the Nagoya City University Hospital. It is expected that through this initiative, outstanding research results and education will be produced.

11月29日に名古屋市立大学(桜山キャンパス)において、豊橋技術科学大学と名古屋市立大学との包括連携に関する協定締結式が開催され、寺嶋一彦学長、郡 健二郎学長をはじめ両大学の関係者が出席し、協定書に署名が行われました。
協定締結式終了後には、同大学で包括連携協定締結記念シンポジウム「医薬・工連携の新たな挑戦」が開催され、約70名の一般市民、大学関係者等の参加がありました。本シンポジウムでは、本学からは「人工知能時代における人間理解」と題し、情報・知能工学系の中内茂樹教授が講演、「しびれる電気で創る安全なiPS細胞」と題し、応用化学・生命工学系の沼野利佳准教授が講演を行いました。
講演に続いて、「豊橋技科大・名市大の連携が変える医薬工分野の未来」と題してパネルディスカッションが行われ、本学からはエレクトロニクス先端融合研究所の柴富一孝教授、電気・電子情報工学系の河野剛士准教授、機械工学系の永井萌土准教授が参加し、活発な議論を行いました。
本協定に基づき、本学が有するロボット、センシング、IoT、AI等の工学系分野と名古屋市立大学における医学・薬学等のさまざまな学問分野の連携を進めるため、相互に客員教員を迎え、異分野融合の共同研究の推進、大学院の講義科目への相互教員派遣をはじめとする教育面の連携、名古屋市立大学附属病院等の医療現場における本学のロボット技術活用等を実施していくこととしています。本取り組みを通じ、卓越した研究成果の創出や教育の実施等が期待されます。
