Activity Reports

The Annual Report is a record of the activities of the Research Institute for Science and Technology (RIST) at Tokyo University of Science over the course of the academic year.
As part of the Tokyo University of Science's goal of “From Japan’s TUS to the World’s,” RIST is making daily efforts to contribute to the university and society through the implementation of ambitious research activities from a global perspective.

Toward “Only at TUS”

Tokyo University of Science’s Research Institute for Science and Technology was established for the purpose of stimulating interdisciplinary and cross-cutting research at the university, promoting joint research that breaks down the barriers between inside and outside academia, and strengthening collaboration with the public.

At this forum, each research center, research hubs, and research division will present their latest research results. Extensive exchanges of opinions are held on these results to explore further possibilities for collaboration, and to develop ambitious research activities from a global perspective as a research organization of a university that has begun to make great strides toward “transforming from a Japanese university of science into a global university of science.”

Each division reports on its activities in various ways, including symposiums, lectures, research results report meetings, open seminars, and cross-cultural exchange roundtables that transcend organizational boundaries.

Here we introduce research projects that have been selected and adopted for the program on the basis of their research content.

［Program Description］Individual universities plan and apply for research projects from the viewpoint of cutting-edge research or community-based research, and after screening, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) selects research centers to carry out such projects, providing comprehensive subsidies for research facilities and equipment development and for research expenses.
