Center for Regional PartnershipResearch Center for Food Safety and Security (RCFSS)The Center for Regional Partnership was established to meet regional challenges, promote value creation and act as a hub of region. Our missions are to contribute solving regional issues using knowledge of the Graduate School of Agricultural Science, provide a field for learning to students and citizens based on experiences of local people, and contribute regional self-development in Japan and world creating new knowledge. The center is tackling the following topics with two field stations in Tamba-Sasayama and Higashi-Harima.Cooperative Research: With the participation of members of the local government agencies, regional community groups, non-profit organizations, and cooperatives, faculty staff members lead research projects for sustainable local development. In addition, the center assists the researchers of the Graduate School of Agricultural Science to initiate cooperative research and provide logistical support for their implementation.Collaborative Practical Activities: The center promotes practical activities for creating and sharing knowledge between region and university. Other activities of the center include: provision of support to student and group activities that implement community empowerment activities in rural areas, collection and publication of literature and materials relating to regional partnership, and social networking and learning opportunities, such as workshops and seminars.Consultation and Information Dissemination Services: As a point of contact between the local community and Kobe University, the center provides consultation services for a diversity of clients. In addition, the center actively provides accessible information by hosting open workshops on the outcomes of cooperative research and collaborative practical activities, as well as community-oriented workshops. The center’s website (https://www.edu.kobe-u.ac.jp/ans-chiiki/) presents a summary of past cooperative research, as well as information on past and upcoming collaborative practical activities.Cooperative Education on Food and Agriculture: The educational program aims to learn regional situation from the standpoint of farm producers and local residents, and foster human resources who can contribute to practical problem-solving in the field of food and agriculture. The program consists of the following lectures: ‘Introduction to Practical Agronomics’, ‘Practical Agronomics’ supported by farmers in Tamba-Sasayama and ‘Theory on Agricultural Environment in Hyogo Prefecture A and B’ under cooperation with MAFF, JA and Hyogo prefecture.Since its establishment in April 2006 as the first food safety orientated academic institution in Japan, the RCFSS has been pioneering a comprehensive research area for establishment of a global standard of scientific theory and technology which contributes to food safety and its security.The RCFSS has recently developed Kobe University Human Intestinal Model (KUHIM) system, which consists of both in vitro cultured (1) immune intestinal model and (2) intestinal microbiota model in order to promote research and education to validate the function and safety of the food using KUHIM as a core technology. In addition we are going to put efforts on research and education for stable food supply through plant protection technology.The RCFSS is engaged in not only stand-alone research and education programs that employ its own facilities and equipment but also various joint research and educational activities in cooperation with many laboratories within Kobe University and other universities. In addition, the RCFSS promotes food-safety research and social awareness campaigns in collaboration with local govern-ments, national institutes, non-governmental organizations, food and drug manufactures and other universities who share the same food safety and security oriented discipline. The RCFSS provides the special lectures, 'Practical Seminar for Food Safety Technology', and 'Practical Inspection Technology for Food and Agricultural Materials Safety’ in partnership with Food and Agricultural Materials Inspection Center (FAMIC).For more details about the RCFSS, please visit our website: http://www.research.kobe-u.ac.jp/ans-foodss/index.html.Collaborative practical activitiesConsultation and informationdissemination servicesReal-time PCR systemCooperative education on food and agriculture20Cooperative researchIntestinal microbiota modelHigh performance liquid chromatograph
