The second timeHokkaido University URA Station URA's Masayo Ogi and Shoko Wada will be appearing.
This time, we're continuing our series on jobs within universities.
~The driving force behind maximizing research capabilities: Hokkaido University URA Station~
Hokkaido University's North Campus houses the Hokkaido University URA Station, which operates from its base at the Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.
The job title URA stands for University Research Administrator, and its mission is to create an environment that revitalizes research activities at universities and to manage research and development.
In Japan, this might be a word you've heard quite often since around 2011.
We'll be asking them about the work of a "URA" (University Research Administrator), what kind of tasks they perform, and how they both came to be involved in this profession.
Since it will be held during lunchtime, please feel free to join us.
Researchers and staff affiliated with the KNIT project's partner and collaborating institutions, including our university, as well as faculty, staff, researchers, and students of our university, are all welcome to participate.
We also accept questions.
