Nagoya University is a public research university in Nagoya, Japan, established in 1939. It is known for research in science, engineering, and medicine.

Nagoya Imperial University: A Japanese imperial university established in 1939 as the predecessor of Nagoya University. The university began under this name before Japan's postwar institutional reforms.
Yoichiro Nambu: A Japanese-born theoretical physicist who shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on spontaneous symmetry breaking. Nambu studied at Nagoya Imperial University before beginning a career in theoretical physics.
Kobayashi–Maskawa Institute: A Nagoya University research institute for interdisciplinary study of fundamental sciences. It extends the university's particle-physics legacy into broader fundamental-science research.
Kyoto University: A national research university in Kyoto, Japan, founded in 1897 and known for broad scholarship and scientific research. It is an older national research university in the same central-Japan academic region.
Nagoya Medical College: A medical college in Nagoya that became a foundation of Nagoya Imperial University. Its establishment in 1920 marks an earlier stage in the university's history.
Makoto Kobayashi: A Japanese physicist who shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for explaining CP violation in particle physics. Kobayashi earned his doctorate at Nagoya University and developed influential particle-physics theory.
Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules: A Nagoya University institute that develops functional molecules and transformative approaches in biology and chemistry. It represents the university's research at the boundary of chemistry and life science.
Osaka University: A national research university in Osaka, Japan, established in its modern form in 1931. It provides a western-Japan comparison among major research universities with strong science and medicine.
Japanese imperial universities: A group of state universities established in Japan's imperial period, including Nagoya Imperial University. Nagoya University entered this system as its final imperial university.
Toshihide Maskawa: A Japanese theoretical physicist who shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on CP violation. Maskawa conducted research at Nagoya University alongside work that led to the Kobayashi–Maskawa theory.
