NAIST has achieved superior research results as an institute of science and technology, and we believe in the importance of returning the benefits of our research achievements to society.

As a result, NAIST has achieved top results nationwide. We received the highest evaluation for the MEXT-sponsored “Development of University Intellectual Property Headquarters Project (2003-2007)”, and also the highest midterm evaluation for the “Innovation System Improvement Project (2008-20012)”.
