The Council of Presidents of Six National Universities is made up of Chiba University, Niigata University, Kanazawa University, Okayama University, Nagasaki University, and Kumamoto University, all of which were former public medical universities, and has expanded its loose collaboration to a comprehensive level. In order to further deepen the strong cooperative relationship, the “Agreement on Comprehensive Collaboration among Six National Universities” was concluded on March 6, 2013, and a six-university collaboration consortium was
established. We are engaged in various collaborative projects in various fields.

A
question-and-answer session was held on topics such as the decline in research capacity at university hospitals and how to respond to work style reforms.
Next, we exchanged opinions on efforts to strengthen graduate school research capabilities, elected the Director of the Educational Collaboration Organization and the Director of the Public Relations Collaboration Organization, and reported on the efforts of each collaboration organization.
After the conference, the participants presented the cryo-electron microscope “Krios G4” (300 yen kV, Thermo Fisher Co., Ltd.) and its demonstration, and then visited Okayama University Co., Ltd., a wooden building using cutting-edge construction methods using wooden CLT panels, built under the supervision of architect Kengo Kuma, a special guest professor at Okayama University.
