Cooperative Efforts with Kyushu University Departments
QREC furthered the expansion of cooperative relationships with Kyushu University departments in order to increase the number of students in its courses and to secure educational resources as well as to heighten recognition of QREC activities.
During the 2015 academic year too, QREC is attempting to collaborate with organizations within and outside the University in both teaching and events, thereby enriching the curricula provided.
Cooperative Efforts with Japanese/Overseas Organizations
We have built a complementary relationship for utilizing external resources not available in the university and implemented external know-how. We have also expanded our sphere of activity by broadening our network and our collaborations with non-university organizations and we are working on even greater collaborations that will secure opportunities for our students to acquire experience outside of the university, outside of Kyushu, and overseas.
