We have courses such as “Science, Technology, and Industrial Policy” in order to educate people at School of Engineering and Graduate School of Engineering in the University of Tokyo. We organize research laboratory where students in the school can belong. We also host seminars on science and innovation policy which are open to experienced people, where participants are from government, industry, and universities.

We have partners in a variety of sectors including government, industry, and university, and we encourage the interactions and collaborations with those partners. Outcome of research developed by IPRC was contributed and adopted in ‘White Paper on Science and Technology’ by MEXT and ‘Innovation Strategy’ by OECD. We have a number of research projects with our partners with government including METI, NEDO, JST, ESRI and universities like Stanford University, and industries.

IPRC also promotes our research outcomes to our society through seminars, workshops, and international conferences. We organized “East Asia Innovation Conference” with Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Korea and Tsinghua University in China, which was collaborated with academia, industry, and governmental sector in China, Korea and Japan.
