On 09/20/2022, Naoki Kosuge (graduated Dept. of Systems Innovation in March 2022), Ryuichi Shibasaki (Assoc. Prof., Resilience Engineering Research Center/Dept. of Systems Innovation), Koki Kawachi (M1, Dept. of Technology Management and Innovation), Hirofumi Arai (Economic Research Institute for Northeast Asia), Takefumi Nakamura (graduated Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology in March 2022), Lei Liu (doctoral research student, Dept. of Technology Management and Innovation) in March 2022 won “OCDI Takeuchi Yoshio Logistics Award” at the 9th International Conference on Transportation and Logistics (TLOG 2022). ＜Name of award and short explanation about the award＞ OCDI Takeuchi Yoshio Logistics Award ( https://tlog2022.inu.ac.kr/call-for-papers/ocdi-takeuchi-yoshio-logistics-award ) is awarded for the best paper selected from those submitted to the International Conference on Transportation and Logistics (TLOG, https://tlog2022.inu.ac.kr/home), which is held every two years. ＜About awarded research＞ The awarded paper titled “Development of Multicommodity-type Global Logistics Intermodal Network Simulation Model Including Both Containerised and Dry Bulk Cargo” logically integrated the bulk cargo (i.e. iron ore and coal) shipping into the existing global logistics intermodal network simulation model which focused on container cargo. Therefore, the paper was highly evaluated because the transportation form and trade pattern of these cargo are completely different but the competition in capacity of land transport may be observed. ＜Your impression & future plan＞ I am very honored to receive the OCDI Takeuchi Yoshio Logistics Award. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Prof. Shibasaki, Mr. Kawachi, and other co-authors for their tremendous efforts in additional analysis and revising of the paper. I look forward to the continued success of the Shibasaki Lab. Koki Kawachi (M1, Dept. of Technology Management and Innovation) receives the certificate and other awards by proxy.

On 09/30/2022, Qian Gao（D3）, Xiaohang Tong（D2）, Zihao Zhao（D2）, and Ruochen Xu（D2） of Takahashi-Wan Laboratory, Department of Systems Innovation, received the Encouraging Prize of SAMPE Japan. ＜Name of award and short explanation about the award＞ Encouraging Prize of SAMPE Japan ＜About awarded research＞ The University of Tokyo team has been awarded First Place in the SAMPE Student Bridge Contest 2022 World Competition, Category B. ＜Your impression & future plan＞ We are very honored to receive this award. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the members of our laboratory for making it possible for us to receive this award. We gained valuable insights and advice from the world-class competition, and we will continue to improve our design and molding techniques to pass them on to the younger members of our laboratory. 　　　　　

On 09/30/2022, Xiaohang Tong (D2, Takahashi lab.) received Encouraging Prize of SAMPE Japan. ＜Name of award and short explanation about the award＞ Encouraging Prize of SAMPE Japan ＜About awarded research＞ Experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of CFRTP bolted joints ＜Your impression & future plan＞ It is my great honor to receive this Encouraging Prize of SAMPE Japan. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Professor Takahashi for his kind guidance, and to all the lab members who are involved in this research for their kind support. There are still problems needed to be solved before the large-scale application of bolted CFRTP joints. With the encouragement of this award, I hope that I can accelerate this process with my research work.
