Kumamoto University (KU) has launched the scheme of the Liaison Professor in line with our strategy for internationalization. In this scheme, we confer the title of “Kumamoto University Liaison Professor” to alumni of KU, former faculty members and researchers of KU, and others who have made great contribution to the internationalization of KU in terms of education and research.
