Message from the Director of the Division for Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration

On becoming a national university corporation, NAIST established the Division for Industry-Government-Academia Collaboration and has engaged in the active promotion of joint research, commissioned research, technology transfer and other related activities. 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)”.
NAIST will continue striving to produce world-leading education and research results, and to further promote industry-government-academia collaboration.
