On Thursday, November 26, 2020, the award ceremony and commemorative lecture of the "2020 Osaka City University Young Researcher Encouragement Award, Yoichiro Nambu Memorial Encouragement Award, and Kyou Tsunetou Memorial Encouragement Award" were held at the Tanaka Memorial Hall.
The Osaka City University Glocal Human Resource Development Project Young Researcher Encouragement Award (Yoichiro Nambu Memorial Encouragement Award and Yasushi Tsunedo Memorial Encouragement Award) was established to encourage the development and success of young researchers as an encouragement award named after the late Professor Yoichiro Nambu (Professor Emeritus, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, and Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics in 2008) in the science division, and the late Dr. Kyou Tsunetou, the first president of the university, who laid the foundation of the university in the humanities category. The Yoichiro Nambu Memorial Encouragement Award in the science category was established in 2017, and the Kyou Tsunetou Memorial Encouragement Award in the humanities category was established this year.
The purpose of this award is to improve the motivation of young researchers and the level of research at the University by commending young researchers who have achieved remarkable research achievements, such as publishing excellent books and papers, and who are expected to play an even more active role in the future, and by awarding research funds as supplementary prizes.
This year, 23 students applied for the science category and 8 people applied for the humanities category, and as a result of the selection, 5 young researchers were awarded a certificate of commendation by President Arakawa and a supplementary research incentive grant of 500,000 yen. I hope that you will continue to play an active role."
Following the award ceremony, a commemorative lecture was given by the award winners. After expressing their joy and gratitude for receiving the award, the awardees gave a lecture on their research. In the Q&A session after the lecture, expectations for future research were revealed.
