National Center として、 Regional Center として 学長 遠藤 俊郎President ENDO Shunro 富山県は、北アルプスの山々から富山湾へ流れ出る日本一の水資源に支えられた豊かな自然や農林水産資源に恵まれ、また大伴家持の万葉文学以来の文化・教育の歴史・伝統、江戸時代からの薬業や伝統産業を基盤に発展した多彩な産業活動等、他の地域には見られない特色と豊かさにあふれる県です。北陸新幹線も開通し、さらに中国・韓国・台湾・ロシアなど海外への門戸も年々拡大され、薬都富山・ものづくり富山・教育県富山の存在は全国的にも益々注目されているところであります。  富山大学は、2005年10月に旧富山大学・富山医科薬科大学・高岡短期大学の3大学の再編統合により発足し、本年2015年に統合10周年を迎える、新しい大型総合国立大学です。人文・人間発達科学・経済・理・工・医・薬・芸術文化という多様な教育研究分野をもつ8学部、和漢医薬学総合研究所、附属病院の計10部局を擁し、地域と世界の発展に寄与する基礎研究のみならず、東アジア地域をはじめ諸外国との交流を通じ、東洋と西洋の英知と科学の融合すなわち「知の東西融合」を目指しています。伝統的なくすり業の蓄積を基に世界の薬草を収集した民族薬物資料館は、こうした学術活動の成果の一端であり、東洋の知を求め続けた小泉八雲の蔵書「ヘルン文庫」は、「知の東西融合」を目指した象徴的存在であるといえます。  法人化後の大学改革の流れの中で、3大学統合という全国唯一かつ最大の組織再編・改革を成し遂げましたが、富山大学にとって、地域・世界に貢献する人材育成と科学文化の進歩を創出する研究成果の追求は、変わることのない目標であり、責務であります。同時に3大学ならびに各学部の伝統とこれまでの実績を継承しつつ、統合によるスケールメリットを活かし、変化する時代を勝ち抜く力を確立し、地域社会や政財界の期待に応えていかねばなりません。我々に最も求められていることは、各自の持つ知識と技量を発揮するとともに、キャンパス・学部を越えて連携し、情熱を持って行動することだと考えます。  科学・技術の目覚ましい進歩があり、大きく変化する時代の中で、時代の変化や流れを読みつつも、本当に必要なものは何か、大事なものは何かを見誤らずに、確固たる信念と明確な目標を持って、前に進む必要があります。新しい業績や情報を世界に発信するNational Centerとして、同時に地元に貢献できる知財と人材を提供するRegional Centerとしてその役割を果たし、教職員・学生諸君とともに新しいものを生み出す楽しさを感じながら、明るく元気に前進して参ります。 The University's Role as a‘‘National,,and‘‘Regional,,Center  Toyama Prefecture is blessed with an abundant natural environment which is supported by its rich water resources from the Northern Alps that flow gently into the Toyama Bay. Furthermore, thanks to the long history of its Manyo literature and education-consciousness together with the various industrial activities based on its renowned pharmaceutical products and traditional industry since Edo Period, the prefecture is affluent in such characteristics. The open door policy to overseas countries and regions such as China, Korea, Taiwan, and Russia is increasing annually now that the Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train service has begun operation. Toyama has also naturally been the center of attraction domestically for its abovementioned history of medicine, industry, craftsmanship, and high standards of education.  In October 2005, Toyama University, Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University and Takaoka National College were integrated to form the present University of Toyama. This year, 2015 marks the 10th anniversary of its unique founding. The University is comprised of eight faculties in the following academic and research fields of Humanities, Human Development, Economics, Science, Medicine, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Engineering and Art and Design, as well as the Institute of Natural Medicine and the University Hospital. Through exchange of ideas with various countries and regions in both East Asia and rest of the world, the University endeavors not only for basicresearch which contributes to the development of both regions and the world but also for‘‘Integrating Knowledge of the East and West.,,Suchexamples can be observed at our Museum of Materia Medica, which houses a collection of traditional natural and herbal medicines from around the world, and the Lafcadio Hearn Library, which stores a collection of books owned by this infamous western scholar of Japan, are twoexamples of our‘‘Integrating Knowledge of the East and West.,,  With regard to the reform policy of national universities after incorporation, an outstanding but unique and extensive integration of three former institutions has been accomplished thus far. However, the University still upholds to carry out its invariable mission of nurturing graduates capable of contributing to both the Japanese and international society, while pursuing research achievements which lead to the progress of science and culture. Whilst inheriting such traditions from the predecessor universities/college, there is a need to meet the expectations of the local community, including the political and business circles with our advantage of scale to proceed forward in this time of change. In doing so, the University also pledges to demonstrate its own knowledge and skills, as well as act with passion in cooperation beyond the boundaries of campus / faculty.  Under the current turbulent times of social change and remarkable advances in science and technology, without mistake, we must strive forward with unshakable beliefs and definite goals in consideration of what is needed and important. Together with our faculty, staff and students, we plan to progress steadily with a feeling of enjoyment in developing new creations. For that very reason, the University takes onthe important role as a‘‘National Center,,for providing the world with excellent outcomes and information. At the same time, it also positionsitself as a‘‘Regional Center,,in contributing to the local communities by offering useful intellectual properties and competent human resources.学長挨拶 President's Address22015 富山大学概要
