About Our Support

 Creating interdisciplinary projects that will form the foundation of future research, as well as projects that integrate the sciences and humanities to highlight Kobe University’s unique strengths, are major responsibilities of our URA (University Research Administrator) team.
 Projects spanning multiple faculties and graduate schools often face significant challenges during the initial stages and team-building phase. URA provides comprehensive support from these early stages and team formation through research planning and applications for competitive funding. Faculty members are encouraged to reach out to URA at any stage of their project planning, regardless of current project phase or funding application status.
 We are here to discuss the best ways to support your initiatives.

 In support of applications for CREST and PRESTO, we have assisted with two interdisciplinary projects:

• 
  A project integrating the Institute for Economic Research, the Graduate School of Economics, the Department of Mathematics in the Graduate School of Science, and the Graduate School of System Informatics.
  
• A cross-disciplinary project between the Department of Chemistry in the Graduate School of Science and the Department of Applied Chemistry in the Graduate School of Engineering.
