The
Headquarters
of
the
Academic-Industrial
Alliance
and
Intellectual
Properties
shares
the
achievements
of
our
unique
research
primarily
in
occupational
medicine
and
occupational
health
with
societies
inside
and
outside
Japan
as
well
as
in
the
local
community,
thereby
stimulating
more
education
and
research
activities,
employing
external
funds
raised
through
the
rights
and
academic-industrial
alliance
projects.
The Headquarters are provided with an Invention Committee and a Conflict of Interest Committee to improve evaluations and assessments regarding the acquisition of patents and to properly manage issues concerning conflicts of interest caused by the academic-industrial alliance. The Center also serves as a bridge between the university and society. It promotes research collaborations in medical technology and facilitates the transfer of technology. This enhances the societal value of the university's intellectual property and promotes the development and adoption of new technologies in collaboration with industry partners.
