Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) has been appointed as a United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) SDG9 Hub for three terms in a row

Over the first (2018-2021) and second (2021-2024) terms, Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) has promoted education and research as an SDG9 hub for achieving every goal, with a focus on Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure). Through SDG lectures and SDG-related events, we have created opportunitiesto engage with the SDGs, raised SDG awareness in local communities, stroved to foster the understanding that the SDGs are "our own affairs," and promoted activities for social contributions toward achieving the SDGs.

On this occasion, we have been officially appointed once again by the United Nations as an SDG9 hub for a third term (2025-2027). For the third term, instead of the hitherto system of having one goal per university, each goal will have multiple universities appointed as UNAI SDG hubs. A Chair (Hub Chair) and three Vice Chairs (Teaching and Education, Research, and Outreach and Partnership) are selected per goal, and we have been chosen as Vice Chair in charge of Research for Goal 9.

We will continue striving to nurture human resources who possess advanced technical and academic ability, the spirit of VOS (Vitality, Originality and Services), and fullness of character. As the institution placed in charge of research, the faculty and staff will work together to form a foundation for industrial and technological innovation through SDG9-oriented research, and work toward the realization of a sustainable world.

We deeply appreciate your continued support.
