Background and
purpose of the establishment |
||||||||||||||
|
The development of engineering and industry in Japan, due to differences in the development processes, were not closely coordinated. |
||||||||||||||
| Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo was established
to address this shortcoming. |
||||||||||||||
| The Institute undertakes scientific research into the technical issues
of production, and promotes the cooperation of engineering and industry
by performing practical tests of the research results. The purpose is not only to raise the level of industrial technology in Japan, but also to contribute to the development of world knowledge. |
||||||||||||||
| The following are taken as important mission in maintaining effective relationship
of the research to the production site: |
||||||||||||||
| 1 To fully understand the realities of the productive technique and plan appropriate research; |
||||||||||||||
| 2 For the research to solve practical problems drawn from the field; |
||||||||||||||
| 3 To evaluate at intermediate scale the transfer of study results from
the laboratory to industrialization. |
||||||||||||||
| To help achieve the university mission and to provide liaison between industry
and academia, a group of 105 volunteers formed the Circle for Promotion
of Industrial Science on November 24, 1952. |
||||||||||||||
| Through its efforts to accomplish objectives, the Foundation was able
to accumulate substantial assets. |
||||||||||||||
| With these assets contributed to support the long-term viability, the Foundation
for the Promotion of Industrial Science was established with the approval
of the Minister of Education on December 25, 1953. |
