K - A R C

Kosen-Applied science Research Center

A pilot project for nationwide KOSENs was launched in July 2015 as the trial of research promotion model at the KOSEN.

K-ARC has been established as the research establishment of the KOSEN at the Tsuruoka Metabolome campus. In addition, it acts the platform for helping faculty members conduct high quality research, achieve self reliance in research expenses through attracting research grants and continue promotion of education & research with the industry.

Objectives as the center of the KOSEN’s research

Self reliance

Invite faculty members with high research abilities, generate high quality research outcome & achieve complete self reliance by attracting external research grants

Collaboration with national research institutions

Collaborate with top level national research institutions and conduct complementary research toward implementation

Building independent research establishment

Research oriented faculty members are to be invited from different campuses to build independent research

establishment

Expansion of scale

Promotion of the expansion of scale within Tsuruoka science park

The future of K-ARC

Improve the presence

We aim at improving the visibility and presence in the changing KOSEN paradigm
