Shinshu University and Shimadzu Corporation Conclude Comprehensive Partnership Agreement

On August 5, 2024, Shinshu University and Shimadzu Corporation signed a comprehensive partnership agreement.

Shimadzu Corporation is a leading provider of new technology and material evaluation methods using various analytical and measurement instruments. The company has designated healthcare, including the life sciences, and green transformation (GX) aimed at carbon neutrality as areas for creating social value. The agreement aims to contribute to human resource development and regional growth by leveraging the resources of both parties.

Through this new agreement, the two organizations will deepen their collaboration in talent development and academic research. This includes not only the advanced technological development and validation centered on water and energy that they have fostered together, but also the advanced integration of the university's water purification and reuse technologies, energy storage and creation technologies, and decarbonization technologies. This will further strengthen the university's research capabilities related to the "Program for Promoting the Enhancement of Research Universities" (J-PEAKS) and help it become a university that enriches the region from a global perspective.
