Cooperative
Research Station in Southeast Asia
(CRS)
International Center for Biotechnology,
Osaka University |
Rationale
The International Center for Biotechnology
(ICBiotech), Osaka University, is dedicated
to promote international cooperation
among Asian countries in the aspect
of research and education in the field
of Biotechnology. Since the establishment
of ICBiotech in 1978, ICBiotech has
built up extensive experience in the
international collaboration on science
and education, particularly with Southeast
Asian countries. In addition, UNESCO
International Post-graduate Course in
Microbiology, a one-year training course
conducted by ICBiotech with the cooperation
of major Japanese universities (Osaka
University, Tohoku University, Tokyo
University, Kyoto University, and Kyushu
University), has trained 311 researchers
from various Asian countries since 1973.
ICBiotech also carried out Japan Society
for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
core university program in the field
of Biotechnology under the strong partnership
with Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia,
and Malaysia since 1978. Mahidol University
is the core university in Thailand under
the JSPS core university program since
1985 until present.
Foundation
of CRS
- ICBiotech carries out an array of
scientific cooperative programs and
initiatives according to its belief
that scientific research is essentially
international cooperation. In 2001,
Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports,
Science and Technology (MEXT) has launched
“A Policy for the Structural Reform
of National Universities.” Through this
new system, ICBiotech with the supportive
agreement from Osaka University has
set up its first branch office namely
Cooperative Research Station in Southeast
Asia (CRS) at Mahidol University, with
officially opening on December 23, 2002.
Activities
- CRS of ICBiotech has been launched
at Mahidol University for further promoting
international activities of ICBiotech
and other institutions in Osaka University,
not only with Thailand, but also with
other Southeast Asian countries. CRS
has been well-equipped with modern instruments
donated by Osaka University for studies
on Molecular Biology and Biotechnology.
Mahidol University providers space,
basic facilities and utilities to support
the establishment and maintenance of
the station. CRS will contribute actively
to the advancement of science in Southeast
Asia by acting as the research/education
station for the cooperative research
in Biotechnology among Japanese and
Southeast Asian scientists. CRS also
cooperates for the cyber education between
Osaka University and universities in
Thailand and also functions as administrative
office of Osaka University in Asia.
CRS will recruit and support talent
researchers who have the ability to
do research at high standard as well
as those who have the potential to contribute
to the advancement of science in the
future. In addition, CRS will also act
as the center for communication network
among Osaka University alumni from Southeast
Asia.
