Field Practice 2023
Field practice is a subject required to complete the Graduate School of Excellence in Advanced Optical and Electronic Device Creation.
If you are planning field practice this year, please follow the procedure below.
The registration procedure differs depending on the graduate school to which you belong, so please refer to the relevant items. As a general rule, the target is students who have completed the doctoral program at an outstanding graduate school.The total implementation period is 90 hours (equivalent to 2 credits) or more. This number of hours can include related training hours at Kyoto University.
From 2021, expenses related to field practice implementation will be borne by the laboratory.
[Special cases in 2023]
This year, we will allow students to conduct field practices online (e.g., Zoom) or via e-mail. Those who wish to conduct field practice via online or e-mail should discuss this with their academic advisor and follow the necessary procedures. Students in the Graduate School of Engineering should also consult with the A Cluster Academic Affairs Office.
If you wish to conduct the Field Practice online, etc., please replace “dispatch” with “implementation” in the “Destination” and “Dispatch Period” sections of the Field Practice Implementation Plan, etc. The next and subsequent years are currently under consideration.
[For Graduate School of Engineering students]
The course of the research internship will be read as the course of field practice, so please take the procedure of the research internship.
(1) Obtain the forms of “Research Internship Implementation Plan and Implementation Confirmation” (Engineering) and “Dispatch Expense Usage Plan” from the A Cluster Academic Affairs Section, or download from the following.
・Field practicing implementation plan and implementation confirmation (construction)
・Field Practics: Dispatch Expense Usage Plan
(2) After fully consulting with your academic advisor, fill in the necessary items in places other than the implementation confirmation column of the “Research internship implementation plan and implementation confirmation”, and perform the research internship (field practice) together with the “dispatch expense usage plan”. ) Please submit it to your academic advisor at least one and a half months before the implementation. Please note that if the submission is delayed, it may not be possible to carry out the schedule on schedule.
(3) If the submitted content is approved, your academic advisor will contact you to that effect, so please carry out a research internship (field practice).
(4)As soon as the research internship (field practice) is completed, please fill in the required items in the implementation result column of the “Research internship implementation plan and implementation confirmation” and submit it to your academic advisor.
[Graduate School of Science Students / Graduate School of Informatics Students]

Research Grant 2023
Guidelines for Research Grant Application
and Cooperative Research Grant Application
The research grant is a support for this research activity funded jointly by the Graduate School of Excellence in Advanced Optical and Electronic Device Creation and the Center for Education and Research in Optical and Electronic Science and Engineering attached to the Graduate School of Engineering.
This is a system in which research proposals based on the free ideas of doctoral students in the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, are solicited, and research funds are paid to doctoral students who have made excellent proposals after examination.
We are soliciting proposals as follows, so please do not hesitate to apply to students.
This year, applications will be accepted in two phases, the first and second phases. In addition, joint applications by multiple applicants will be accepted as newly established `Collaborative Research Grant’. For details, see “10. Collaborative Research Grant“.
In addition, in order to use this initiative not only to foster autonomous and independent researchers, but also to trigger the new development of optoelectronic science and engineering through free thinking, the professor emeritus Hiroyuki Matsunami, a professor of the Department of Electronics, has made a commitment.
Based on this, the electrical students who presented the best research will be awarded a supplementary prize 100,000 yen in cash. (Collaborative Research Grant is not the subject of this award.)
- Qualifications for application, etc.
Excellent graduate program students and doctoral students in the Department of Electrical Engineering (Katsura area) and the Department of Electronic Engineering (Katsura area) of the Graduate School of Engineering (Students with DC1 and DC2 qualifications of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science can also apply) and engineering Master’s student in the graduate school electrical engineering doctoral course.
However, those who have suspended their qualifications due to leave of absence, etc. cannot apply.
Note that you cannot apply for Research Grant or Cooperative Research grant when the proposed research topic has any financial support.
In addition, the research activity should be completed within the fiscal year 2023 (March 2024).
Collaborative Research Grant can be applied by a group of students who belong to WISE program.

・ The maximum number of research grants in the second term is 4, together with the regular research grants. The maximum grant amount is 400,000 yen per grant.
・ Research results of the Joint Research Grant will be reported in a poster presentation (in English) at the International Symposium which will be held in March 2024.
Note that Cooperative Research Grant is not subject to the Best Research Presenter Award or the Electrical Engineering Student Supplementary Award.
・ The research results report (including the poster data used in the presentation) must be submitted by the designated date in March 2024.
・ You can submit different proposals on different research topics to both the Research Grant and the Cooperative Research Grant, only when you can conduct both of the research projects sufficiently.
