National University Corporation Okayama University (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Okayama City, President: Yasutomo Nasu) held a regular press conference on November 29, 2023, where President Yasutomo Nasu introduced “Overview of Okayama University’s Space Strategy.” We have done so, so we would like to inform you as follows.
Okayama University has clarified its vision for corporate management and is promoting activities to achieve this vision together with society and the local community. We believe that this vision is a path to walk together with the local community, and that it will be realized through mutual collaboration between the university and the local community.
In addition, in order to realize the vision, it is important to cultivate and produce knowledge workers who will transform society with knowledge, and this is the foundation of the vision. ), “Well-being/Human Health,” and “Community Health where people can live safely and with peace of mind.”

The relationship between Okayama University’s vision and space is not something that only our university is thinking about, but there are also many similarities and commonalities in the national “Basic Space Plan”.
At Okayama University, we will once again recognize the importance of the existence of space in realizing our own vision, and by responding to various initiatives such as Japan’s Basic Space Plan, we will bring about social change and change the course of humankind. I strongly hope to make a major contribution.

Our mission is to provide the institute's advanced experimental and analytical research infrastructure to a wide range of domestic and international researchers, and to actively develop joint research and education. We have also concluded a collaboration agreement with the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science.
We also have analysis equipment that can only be found here, and this system greatly supports space research. Individual devices can be said to be devices that can be found anywhere, but they are unique in that they work together and can be operated remotely, and it is only by having personnel with advanced technology and knowledge that we can add that ``only here.'' We are creating value.
The Institute for Planetary Materials employs excellent researchers and support personnel from all over the world. For this reason, not only do we use English as our official language, but we also actively conduct research activities in collaboration with countries around the world. Our research institute has established a system in which it is not embarrassing to hold up the title of ``the only one in the world.''
Among the achievements of these systems, the most famous is the )
