Nagoya University is engaged in several significant international research collaborations. Notable projects include the UBIAS (University-Based Institutes for Advanced Studies) project, which fosters international research exchange, and the ATLAS experiment at CERN where Nagoya researchers are involved in searching for new particles and developing key technologies. Other collaborations include the SuperDARN project focused on space weather research. Additionally, Nagoya University has established a joint research center with RIKEN and is actively involved in projects related to Arctic research and energy-environment research.
Please see the international collaboration opportunities page if you are interested in international collaborations with Nagoya University.
UBIAS (University-Based Institutes for Advanced Studies):
This project aims to strengthen international research networks and promote collaboration among advanced study institutes at universities worldwide. Nagoya University plays a key role in the “Intercontinental Academia” project, working with the University of São Paulo.
ATLAS Experiment at CERN:
Nagoya University’s team, led by Professor Tomoto, contributes to the ATLAS experiment by searching for new particles, measuring the properties of the Higgs boson, and developing crucial technologies for data analysis, specifically the muon trigger system.
SuperDARN (Super Dual Auroral Radar Network):
This international project involves researchers from eleven countries and utilizes a network of radar sites to study space weather and the Earth’s magnetosphere. Nagoya University’s ISEE (Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research) plays a role in this project, particularly with the Hokkaido Pair of Radars.
