List of Projects Selected for Major Competitive Research Funds

Research Topics

The Research Initiatives and Promotion Organization has set up the “Research Topics” page to regularly (about twice a year) publish information about the research conducted at YNU with competitive funds, such as grants-in-aid for scientific research. We hope that this page, along with the “YNU Research Centers” page, serves as informative resources on research activities at YNU for the society.
*The affiliation and title of the researches are at the time of adoption of the funds.
*Some English titles are originally translated by YNU. Please refer to the Japanese page for the official titles.
