Supporting and Training Technologists
Nagase Science and Technology Foundation
To help advance science and technology in Japan, we established the Nagase Science and Technology Foundation in 1989 and made it a public interest foundation in 2011. The foundation strives to advance science and technology by supporting research and development in the fields of organic chemistry and biochemistry with the aim of contributing to socioeconomic progress.
A total of 25 research grant winners were selected from 283 applicants in the fields of organic chemistry and biochemistry, and each received a grant of 3 million yen (of this amount, an additional 500,000 yen was provided for the response to COVID-19) and the NAGASE Research Promotion Award.
Supporting the 2021 International Chemistry Olympiad in Japan
We are supporting the 53rd International Chemistry Olympiad to be held in Japan in 2021 with the aim of developing future global leaders of the chemistry and materials industries. Around 300 high school students from about 70 countries and areas will take part. We are helping sponsor the games with the main purpose of creating a brighter future through chemistry.
Nurturing Local Culture
Hayashibara Museum of Art
support for the Hayashibara Museum of Art. The museum houses a collection of Japanese and other East Asian paintings, crafts, and other items. The museum also exhibits furnishings inherited from the estate of the feudal Ikeda clan of the Okayama Domain. The goal of the museum is to contribute to research of cultural assets and improve the culture of the region and of Japan. It does this by preserving works of art, conducting research on them, and allowing the general public to enjoy them through unique exhibitions and other events.
Establishment and award of the Hayashibara Prize
The Hayashibara Prize was established for the purpose of promoting cancer research and eradicating cancer. Since 1963, one to four young medical scientists from the Medical School, Okayama University who have achieved excellent research results have been awarded certificates and commemorative gifts. Since 2013, the award has been reorganized as the Okayama University Cancer Research Encouragement Award (Hayashibara Award and Yamada Award), and in 2020, the award was given to three people.
To date, 109 people have received awards, all of whom are working at the forefront of cancer treatment.
