Message for researchers

I am commited to supporting researchers in advancing their work and ensuring that the knowledge generated at Kyoto University benefits society.

What inspired me to become a research administrator (URA)

Through my involvement in securing external funding at another office within Kyoto University, I came to realize the importance of understanding the value of our faculty’ research and communicate it beyond the university, This led me to take the opportunity to assume this position as a concurrent assignment. In addition, I had long been interested in the work of research administratos since completing my degree, which was another major reason I chose this role.
