Industrial Collaboration Outline

With the specialization and evolution of science and technology currently ongoing, there is an increasing need for universities to cooperate with industry and the government. The IIS plays an active role in bridging the gap between industry and academia in the area of engineering by actively utilizing the following programs. For example, on the basis of the rules of one of the national university corporations, the IIS accepts collaborative research programs and research contracts from industry and government-affiliated special corporations, and educates researchers and research students from industry. Further, endowed chairs and associated research promotion funds are available to encourage research activities in the IIS. Please feel free to contact Planning Section, the Research Grant Office, for details on these programs (Phone: +81-3-5452-6015; Fax: +81-3-5452-6080, E-mail: rk@iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp).
