Outline

With regard to academic applied research, the University-Industry Research Cooperation Societally Applied Scientific Linkage and Collaboration Program provides a framework for building networks between researchers in academia and industry. 

The objectives of the program are, to create platforms for industry-academia collaboration from a new perspective based on proposals from researchers in each sector of academia and industry, and to create value based on academic research across organizational and research fields.

Furthermore, it is expected that this value creation will have an impact on future endeavors, such as enhancement of research capabilities in Japan and industry-academia joint research, especially in research fields that require industry-academia collaboration.
