Nagoya University (名古屋大学 Nagoya daigaku?), abbreviated to Meidai (名大?), is a Japanese national university headquartered in Chikusa-ku, Nagoya. It was the last Imperial University in Japan and among the National Seven Universities. It is the 3rd best ranked higher education institution in Japan (72nd worldwide).
As of 2014, the university has produced six Nobel Prize winners in science, the third most in Japan behind Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo.
Nagoya University traces its roots back to 1871 when it was a temporary medical school. In 1939 it became Nagoya Imperial University. In 1947 it was renamed Nagoya University, and became a Japanese national university. In 2004 it became a Japanese national university corporation.
The ideal written in the Nagoya University academic charter is to encourage the intelligentsia with courage by providing an education which respects independent thought.
In March 2012 the university played host to the International Symposium on Innovative Nanobiodevices.
