Outline of the lnstitute
The Institute of Nature and Environmental Technology at Kanazawa University
was established as a university joint research and education facility in
2002 on the basis of streamlining plan of existing university facilities
such as “Low Level Radioactive Laboratory” at Faculty of Science, “Marine
Laboratory” at Faculty of Science, “Electromagnetic Field Control Laboratory”
at Faculty of Engineering, and “Botanical Garden” at Faculty of Science.
The institute was integrated with the“Japan Sea Research Institute” at
Kanazawa University in 2007 to promote the 21st COE Program“Environmental Monitoring and Prediction of Long- & Short-Term
Dynamics of Pan-Japan Sea Area”. Further, the institute was again reorganised
in 2015 to promote environmental research and education in the pursuit
to create sustainable future environments of the world.
