Message from URA Hagiwara
The work of a URA involves a lot of communication with researchers, and also requires new perspectives and proposals based on studies and analyses. I have experience in design production and public relations, and I have used my expertise to gain a better understanding of various research fields and the academic industry. I am now able to discover issues and propose solutions in my unique way.
The University of Tsukuba Research Administration/Management Office is a truly diverse workplace, and we, the URA team, find it very rewarding to bring out our individuality and support each other in carrying out our work.
