In the current world of academic society, there is fierce competition on an international scale for acquiring outstanding human resources: in other words, “brain circulation” is accelerating. Making use of such conditions, the Institute of Advanced Sciences (IAS) focuses on bringing in the best international researchers who explore the field of sustainable living with risk management, and promote the improvement of the research system for such purpose. As a result, we can expect the formation of an international center which is capable of starting international projects, conducting creative research, and obtaining outstanding research results. By inviting well-known corporate researchers from industrial world, to participate in such research activities, we aim for the strengthening of exit strategies designed to cover the phases from basic research to applications (commercialization, development of practical use) and can expect to uncover research seeds and create new research projects fitted to the needs of society.
