On July 11, “Conference for Kanazawa University Stakeholders” took place for the first time in Kanazawa city. Approximately 100 persons including Kanazawa University students, their parents, high school teachers and staff, local residents and people from industry attended the event.

The purpose of the conference is to report the university’s latest status of education, research and, governance to our stakeholders who support and cooperate with Kanazawa University and to ask for their opinions and requests. We used to hold this kind of events separately for students, their parents and local industry, but this is the first time to have all of them gathered at one place.

After the opening address by President Koetsu YAMAZAKI, there were reports on the recent status of the university from Vice Presidents. Afterward, there were active discussions and we received various requests and encouragements of different perspectives from alumni, students and their parents.
