About<\/a><\/h2>\n

Town & Gown Institute of Innovation for the Future<\/strong>\u00a0at Hiroshima University<\/a> was launched in April 2022 as a joint education and research facility on campus to support Town & Gown Office (TGO) project<\/a>. To build a new regional development model that will lead social changes for a sustainable society, we conduct research on technological challenges contributing to the SDGs, EBPM\/DX research to accelerate innovation and social integration, and promote regional development research for social integration in regional fields, with the aim of fostering entrepreneurs who can create innovations and integrate them into the society.<\/p>\n

TGIF Student Fellows\u2019 Activities<\/h3>\n

At TGIF, student fellows play a key role in accelerating social implementation. They are engaged in practical activities in collaboration with the university, industry, and the local community, including the development and operation of on\u2011campus services and implementation projects led by each research division, as well as the planning and management of events.<\/p>\n

\u25cfMaintenance and Operation of the Congestion Visualization Service<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We<\/strong> are responsible for the front\u2011end design, back\u2011end architecture, and infrastructure development of the congestion visualization service provided through the TGO app. In collaboration with the IoT team, we also carry out ongoing maintenance and operational support.<\/p>\n

About the Congestion Visualization Service<\/p>\n

The service was developed as an initiative led primarily by We’s student fellows to promote digital transformation (DX) on campus and improve the convenience of university facilities and services.
In particular, it is designed to help ease congestion in the cafeteria during peak lunch hours by enabling users to check real\u2011time crowd levels and choose the best timing for their visit. <\/p>\n

\u25cfDevelopment, Maintenance, and Operation of Librarin<\/strong><\/p>\n

We<\/strong> are responsible for the maintenance and operation of \u201cLibrarin,\u201d the library search service provided through the TGO app.<\/p>\n

About Librarin
Librarin is a cross\u2011library search service developed by We\u2019s student fellows to recreate the sense of \u201cserendipitous encounters\u201d one experiences in libraries or bookstores. Instead of searching by title or author, the service displays book covers, allowing users to browse as if they were looking at a real bookshelf. This design brings the joy of unexpected discoveries into the app experience as well.<\/p>\n
