Major Activities
The Southeast Asia Education and Research Station was established in 2018 as Nagasaki University’s university-wide overseas education and research hub, building upon the Vietnam Project Station of the Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITM), which was established in March 2006 within the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) in Hanoi under a Japanese government program on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. The ITM Vietnam Project Station comprises the NIHE – Nagasaki University Friendship Laboratory and the Nha Trang Branch Laboratory.
The Station serves not only as a center of excellence for infectious disease research in Southeast Asia through the ITM Vietnam Project Station, but also as a university-wide platform for education and research. It provides training opportunities for early-career researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students pursuing global health, and is also utilized by researchers and students from other universities. In addition, the Station contributes to society by hosting overseas study programs for high school students and public outreach lectures for the Japanese community in Vietnam.
