 note = {Gifu University and Gifu Prefecture have established a training system called “Maintenance Expert Training Program” for talented engineers for a regional regeneration in 2008. The system has been sponsored by the Special Coordination Funds for Promoting Science and Technology from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). The engineer who finished the course and passed the final certifying examination can acquire the title of “Maintenance Expert (ME)”. The role of ME is to contribute to the regional activation with preparation of new infrastructure, planning/design/operation of the maintenance for existing structures. This paper describes the overview of the training program as well as the other activities of CIAM (Center for Infrastructure Asset Management technology and research) established in Gifu University to carrying out this program, which we believe is an innovative framework for training talented engineers for the infrastructure asset management.},
