Outside Liaison Office

　In December 2006, Oita City opened “Oita Industry Activate Plaza” at the north of Joshi Koen (Park of Ruin of the Castle) to foster local industrial organizations and to support their business activities.
Oita University established “Outside Liaison Office of Innovation Organization” on the second floor of that Plaza, and started its real operation in April 2007. So far, the central activities of the office are the following three: 1) to give extension courses and lectures to the public, 2) to prepare special lectures for citizens and to deal with their attendance applications 3) to serve as an information center of Oita University to general public. We are planning to enlarge its activities in the near future, which include counseling on entrance examination for high school students, industrial organization recruit forum, free technology counseling, and so on.
