Centennial Commemorative Project
"Connect the World, Weave the Future"

The government-built Ueda College of Sericulture, the predecessor to the current Shinshu University Faculty of Textile Science and Technology, was established in 1910 as the first higher educational institution on silk cultivation and the first national school in Nagano Prefecture, when Japan was emerging as one of the industrial powers,.
Currently, the faculty is undertaking the International Advanced Fiber Science and Textile Technology project in order to perform its duties as the only educational and research institute of fiber engineering. The project aims to create an enhanced educational and research environment for the development of human resources that could be deployed anywhere in the world, that will last the next 100 years.
In addition, the faculty will also undertake the creation of a “next generation eco-campus,” which will serve as a model for creating a campus with reduced environmental impact in an attempt to bring up engineers and researchers who play key roles in materializing a sustainable society based on resource recycling technology.
Valuing the traditions passed down to us, we will undertake the following projects in order to connect the faculty to the local community, the industry, the world, the environment, and the future.

The centennial commemorative projects of the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology are the projects aimed at enhancing the education and research environments to promote the principles and goals of the faculty.
