We would like to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support and assistance in the operation of our university.

　Shinshu University has developed an innovative Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification technology that operates at extremely low pressure without the need for electricity, and has successfully completed field demonstration tests in rural India. This technology can be used even in regions where stable access to safe drinking water is difficult, and it overturns conventional wisdom in the field of water treatment. Following the publication of these results in an international academic journal, we will hold a press conference as follows to widely communicate the significance of the research and the prospects for future social implementation. We cordially invite you to cover this event.
