Admin’s Note

The collaboration between Niigata University and Oisix to establish a new department has the potential to significantly transform the landscape of education. The field of food tech, in particular, is expected to become increasingly important in the future. I believe that the opportunity for students to gain practical, hands-on knowledge is incredibly valuable. I hope that this partnership will inspire similar collaborations between other regions and universities. Furthermore, I wish for these initiatives to cultivate new talent and contribute to the future of food.
