We asked Mr. Shodai Hirai (Graduate Graduate School of Engineering Hokkaido University University), one of the first batch of Hokkaido University DX Doctoral Fellowship I summarized it in the video, so please take a look.

Mr. Hirai is researching propulsion devices for small satellites. In particular, he is taking on the challenge of developing new fuels using plastic as a raw material, and has succeeded in reducing the time and cost to 1/30 compared to the past by freely using 3D CAD purchased with the support of the fellowship system. I can devote the time that was born from that to new research... Please pay attention to Mr. Hirai's story that he feels the benefits of DX.

Hokkaido University DX Doctoral Fellowship Program: Under the JST: Challenging Research Program for Next-Generation Researchers, which provides financial support and career development to doctoral course students, Hokkaido University has secured 467 slots for graduate students. I am supporting We provide a wide range of support, including subsidies for living expenses and research expenses for outstanding doctoral students, as well as providing career development and development content. And we aim to develop DX doctoral human resources who will lead Society 5.0.
