The opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship and put it into practice by participating in QREC subjects and projects will surely enable everyone to ”see the scenery we have seen up until now” from a different perspective. .

This is because QREC’s teachers, instructors, supportive staff, and students all come from a variety of backgrounds, and we are able to interact with people who have different perspectives from our own, regardless of faculty, graduate school, nationality, gender, age, etc. Because QREC provides an environment that allows us to transcend and learn from each other. Learning about entrepreneurship is by no means a necessary skill for only those who want to or are interested in starting a business. I feel that these skills are necessary for students who will continue to work with society both now and in the future.

I was also fortunate to have the opportunity to be selected as one of the first Kyusoukai students. Kyusoukai is a place where you can grow as a person and as an entrepreneur. Through my mentoring with Kyusoukai members and my involvement with selected Kyusoukai students, I not only had the opportunity to think about how we can move forward together with society through business from a long-term perspective, but also I learned that it is possible to continue to grow even further.

By participating in QREC subjects, projects, and events, I not only learn a lot from the people involved, but also meet important people who inspire me and help me improve.

Students, please take part in QREC subjects and projects and learn a lot about entrepreneurship!

Although he came up with the idea for a testing device in high school, even experts said it was “unreasonable.” It was C&C that seriously reviewed this idea without the preconceived notion that I was just a first-year undergraduate, and gave me the opportunity to take on the challenge. QREC gave me an irreplaceable time and place to bring this idea to fruition.

In addition, they not only gave me the opportunity to realize my goals, but also supported me to step up to work domestically and overseas. In the end, we were approached by a QREC C&C judge, which led to the establishment of Nippon Wind Tunnel Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of wind tunnel testing equipment that currently supports aerodynamic design in Japan. At QREC, I also learned the importance of a team, which led to the current company organization. I believe there is no better way to learn than by actually doing it. QREC’s program provides a one-stop opportunity for this.

If you are trying to “design your own learning” the more you read this student’s comments, I think that you will have a happy and comfortable life in the future. However, it is a fun life without any inconvenience. If you don’t want to be satisfied with this, try S.I.P, a student life where you can fail or succeed, and I guarantee you a better life. If you don’t try, there will be no success or failure. Unfortunately, all classes other than S.I.P do not provide opportunities to learn through serious challenges.

I have failed more than anyone else at S.I.P, and because I have seriously worried each time, I am now able to make changing society my life’s work. The excitement of changing society together. We look forward to your challenge.

I participated in the S.I.P program every year for six years from when I was a first-year undergraduate until I graduated, and with the support I received, I took on the challenge of realizing my ideas.
For me, I feel that S.I.P is a place that gives me a chance to put ideas into action and connect them to the real world, even if I come up with an idea that seems to be lost on my own. .
My own efforts have not been consistent from the beginning, and although my ideas have changed over and over again, I have received support each time, leading to the current social implementation.
I believe that by just taking that first step of participating in the program, your ideas and your own possibilities will expand endlessly!

I belong to the Synthetic Biology Laboratory at Kyushu University. In this field, the goal is to mass-produce extremely useful substances such as raw materials for pharmaceuticals and biofuels using genetically modified E. coli bacteria.
I found out about this recruitment around April 2022, and decided to apply, thinking strongly, ”I want to use this grant to further develop my research!” in order to advance research in a better direction, we believe that it is necessary to flexibly change initial goals and plans based on research results and considerations as the research progresses. Even when I encountered many challenges and problems in the process, the financial support from everyone at QREC enabled me to think flexibly and actively take on challenges to achieve my goals. It was thanks to the generous support of QREC that I was able to continue my research activities as I wanted for a long period of one year. Also, this is a little off-topic, but you can learn things like ”how to write grant applications and how to use your budget” from this experience, so I highly recommend you give it a try! Finally, I would like to thank everyone at QREC for supporting me and my research over the long period of one year.

I joined QREC because I wanted to do something new with my remaining year of college life after my job search was over.

I feel that I have learned the following two points in particular through the activities of QREC.
・That there are many things that can only be understood by trying.
There are many barriers before an idea can take shape. It is important to give shape to ideas as quickly as possible, even on a small scale, through trial and error.
・To increase opportunities by taking lots of action.
Participating in the Co-creation Practice with Industry on Ideathon / Hackathon gave me the chance to join Accela. I also went to BasE (QREC’s co-working space), where I met people who were also committed to something, helped each other, and shared motivation.

Recommended subjects are output-based programs.
QSHOP allows you to experience making money on your own. Accelerator allows you to experience the process of starting a business based on technology. Hackathon exercises allow you to experience turning your ideas into products.

If you are wondering whether to join QREC at all, please join us! You will learn and meet many things that you cannot get in your regular classes or daily life!

QREC is a dojo to test your abilities. I’m late to introduce myself. I am Riki Yamagami, a.k.a. Ricky. Let me quickly tell you about QREC. In a word, it is a dojo where you can test your mettle. You have thought about what you want to do or what you are interested in, but you don’t know what to do. QREC is the dojo for you. Why dojo? You need to actively communicate with professors, students, external lecturers, and staff members to create your ideas. QREC will do its best to support you from the initial action until you give shape to your idea. Well, of course, there are those who do nothing. People who do nothing are what is commonly called “conscious people,” and I personally dislike them. Well, I am not so smart as to create a company as a 20th birthday present to myself. If you are interested in what I am doing at the company, please search for Riki Yamagami on Facebook and contact me. Finally, there are some pretty sophisticated and interesting students lurking in the QREC community, as well as in our classes. We invite you to take a look into QREC’s classes and community as well.

I want to build a device that will automatically water my bonsai!” This was the first time we were invited to participate in the Accelerator Program. At first, our goal was to create the product we wanted to build, but through the feedback we received from entrepreneurs and VCs in the Accelerator Program, we realized that our vision for the product we were working on was expanding. In addition to the grant, our participation in the Accelerator Program provided us with support in the product development environment, such as a workroom (BasE) and a machine shop, which allowed us to concentrate on development without any delays. The Accelerator Program brought together students from various faculties and graduate schools to implement various ideas, and I believe that being able to share techniques and information with each other led to the development of the product from multiple perspectives. I am very grateful to Dr. Watanabe, Dr. Kaneko, and the other people at QREC for always being accommodating and thinking together with us. I enjoyed learning about development, presentation, fundraising, etc. in a practical way with the members of the program! Even after participating in the program, I felt that the accelerator program was a big step toward realizing what we wanted to do.

I am conducting research on satellite engines, and was motivated by the desire to (1) build an experimental aircraft and (2) connect our technology to the big picture of the space business, so I applied to Kyusokai and C&C and was selected for funding. After the project was adopted, we used the funds we received to develop the experimental vehicle and build its environment, and at the same time, I had the opportunity to pitch my research and business ideas to various newly formed connections. While it is a pleasure to share my vision with many people, I am often troubled by the distance between what I ultimately want to create through space engineering and the research problem at hand. In fact, if what I tell people during wall-breaking sessions, such as “If only we had a propulsion system, we could do this kind of project,” is a “dream,” then I feel that the research plans I write for research grant applications are more concrete, “highly realistic solutions,” and that continually wall-breaking to people is a constant back and forth between this dream and a realistic solution. I feel that continually wall-banging people is also a constant back-and-forth between this gap between the dream and the realistic solution. Sometimes we are faced with problems that are clearly beyond our abilities, but I think the great thing about the QREC program is that we can take steps toward long-term, essential solutions without being impatient for short-term results, and that kind of trial-and-error is encouraged.
Another attraction of QREC is that students can learn knowledge that they feel is lacking through practical activities in a classroom setting.

ここは温かい場所だ。熱望する者にとって、他者はライバルでもなければ、対立し敗北すべき相手でもない。私はあなたの可能性であり、あなたは他の誰かの可能性なのだ。私たちはこのことを理解している集団なのだ。一言で言えば、心理的に安全な環境と抽象化できるが、彼らの良さを奪ってしまうので安易には使いたくない。そう思わせてくれる人たちが集まる場所が、九創会なのだ。

Meeting Kyusokai helped me find what I really want to do. At Kyusokai, I was able to share not only the projects I wanted to work on, but also life advice and worries, and it became an important place for me. When I applied for the program, I was worried about whether or not I would be selected, but as I went through the selection interviews, I could clearly see the problems I was facing and how to solve them, and we had a very enjoyable conversation at the final interview. I was able to participate in the mentoring without any problems, although I had to participate online because my study abroad program and the Kuusokai fell on the same day. I was able to participate in the mentoring without any problems. I learned a lot from the real entrepreneurs who spoke at the mentoring, and it really boosted my motivation to start my own business. Before applying to the KuSoukai, I had a lot of trouble verbalizing what I really wanted to do, but I was able to give shape to my ideas by interviewing senior students and QREC professors who had actually been selected for the program, and I was successfully selected. If you are wondering whether to apply or not, please do not think alone. By doing so, I believe you will be able to gradually give shape to your thoughts. I look forward to meeting all of you who will be in the third term!

Kyusokai offers an environment in which each individual can explore to his or her heart’s content the fundamental themes that go to the core of life. Through dialogue with mentors and members, you can not only expand your framework of thought, but also take practical steps toward making a social contribution.
I have been thinking deeply about the human condition through the poverty and inequality I saw in Bangladesh in elementary school, the setbacks I experienced in middle and high school, and the process leading to my self-acceptance in college. This awareness of the issues led me to connect with the concept of well-being, which describes the good existence (state) of human beings, and to set a goal of using data to clarify the development of each individual’s mental health and level of consciousness. Through my activities at Kuusokai, I have had the opportunity to not only explore my goals, but also to grow internally through friendly competition with my peers.
We look forward to meeting people with a deep awareness of and insight into the issues of life and society.
