EM Application at Meio University
Background:
* 1994 Establishment of Meio University (Faculty of International Studies)
* 2001 Establishment of Graduate School

In 1994, Meio University was established as a private managed university in Okinawa, with the public funds by Okinawa prefecture as well as the northern 12 towns and villages.
However, in 2010 Meio University was reborn as a public university and espoused its founding spirits of "peace, freedom and progress".

"International Institute for EM Technology" was established in April 2007 as a functional public-opened facility. EM Research Organization cooperates to organize workshops on EM Technology open to the public in the campus or in other communities in northern towns and villages under request.

As for the community activities, the main role of the institute is to provide EM information and distribute Activated EM・1 in Nago city which is supported by the city council to disseminate EM Technology and facilitate the home gardening while contributing to beautifying the city. The Activated EM・1 in the campus is distributed freely and the demand is increasing these days.

Prof. Higa has donated 200 cherry blossom to the "Meio" University whose name in Japanese means "cherry blossom" in 2008. Prof. Higa along with EM Research Organization staff and volunteers have been continuously working to maintain cherry blossoms and campus garden even today. The first blooming was in January 2012.
