Research
Superstar Support Program |
|
| |
| Kyushu University
is promoting the "4+2+4 Action
Plan" in pursuit of creating a
Center of Excellence (COE) at the world's
highest level. The first "4"
of "4+2+4" represents our
missions: education, research, contributions
to society, and contributions to international
society. "2" represents our
future directions: "Reaching towards
new science fields based on our past
accomplishments" and "Oriented
toward Asia, naturally fostered by history
and geography." The last "4"
implies the support in which the university
provides based on performance evaluation:
budget allocation, human resources measures,
improvement of facilities and spaces,
and increasing time for education and
research. |
| |
 "Research
Superstar Support Program" given
under President's initiative |
| |
| As a specific plan
of the last "4," more budget
will be allocated under President's
initiative to faculty members who have
accomplished excellent research results
and are highly reactive (Research Superstar
Support Program). By allocating this
"budget" to hiring research
assistants or part-time instructors,
the "human resources measures"
are to be satisfied, and in turn, the
added staff members will help the researcher
"increase time for research."
This new program was launched, with
the hope that young researchers in particular
will become our superstars who will
exert leadership at Kyushu University
in the future. |
