The Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has announced the recipients of its FY2022 Commendation for Science and Technology. This includes eight researchers from Nagoya University (five for the Awards for Science and Technology, two for the Young Scientists' Award, and one for the Outstanding Support for Research Award).
MEXT presents these awards to researchers who have made significant advances in research, development, and promotion of public understanding for science and technology. The aim is to motivate researchers in the same fields and improve Japan's level of science and technology. Awards are bestowed for the categories of Science and Technology ("Development," "Research," "Science and Technology Promotion," "Technology," and "Public Understanding Promotion"), Young Scientist, Creativity, and Schools for Nurturing Creativity.
