IAS is formed of researchers from a wide range of fields related to the study of sustainable living with risk management, and takes on challenges in new research areas. There might be cases where problems will occur which cannot be dealt with the existing research environment in our laboratories, and cases where it is necessary to have a multi-field research environment. A research strategy manager, who has a background in research, provides corresponding support to deal with the cases. The research strategy manager also supports the establishment of the research environment on both the technical and administrative ends, including making arrangements for the use of computing machinery and laboratory equipment as well as support securing research space and funding.
