As a representative Japanese research organization in the field of industrial technology, we strongly advocate international collaborative research with international research organisations through strategic collaboration.

The International Affairs Department (IAD) is based on technology co-operation arrangements and other similar arrangements with 26 countries around the world. The IAD is actively engaged in various international collaborative research projects. When looking toward the future, we keep in mind the importance and growth of international expansion and thereby enrich our work through overseas dissemination of the results of our research in addition to technology transfers. By holding international workshops, dispatching and hiring foreign researchers, research exchanges, as well as hosting foreign visitors, we not only engage in technology exchanges but also successfully transmit information overseas. Hosting JICA trainees and dispatching specialists is one of our important tasks.

To ensure a pleasant living environment for our hired researchers and their families, we provide lodging facilities, language programs and other modes of support. To make our own researchers abroad feel more at ease so they can accomplish their research more fully, we collect and provide information from abroad.
