Abstract
In 2005 April, "Research Center for Steel" was established in Kyushu university in order to promote the collaboration between Kyushu university and the steel making companies in Japan. Purpose of the establishment is not only to realize advanced research in the scientific field related to steel but also to bring up excellent young researchers under the collaboration with industry. Our research center has a special education program "Education Program for graduated Students Collaborated by University and Industry" which is carried out in steel making companies for 4〜5 days in the summer vacation. On the other hand, our research center manages many research projects which are sponsored by companies related to steel production. The Research Center for Steel in Kyushu university has been producing many excellent young researchers to the industry for 9 years and contributing the development of advanced researches on the process technology of steel making.
