Joint Researches Outline
National Institute for Physiological Sciences (NIPS), one of Inter-university Research Institutes, is conducting various types of cooperative studies such as (1) General collaborative project (2) Planned collaborative project focusing on several important themes at each period, and (3) Cooperative studies using large facilities. As shown in the following tables, many cooperative studies have been done every year. In fact, 60 cooperative studies and 35 cooperative studies using large facilities in total are now being conducting this year, and excellent and fruitful results have been already gotten.
Another important main work of cooperative studies of NIIPS is NIPS research meeting. Twenty six NIPS research meetings will be held this year. The number of NIPS research meeting is much larger than other two institutes at Okazaki. Unlike usual congresses or meetings, oral presentations are mainly done with a long time of Q & A. In addition, since the number of participants is relatively small, more detailed and focusing discussion can be done. Since several official big projects supported by Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, Culture and Technology of some official Academic Associations were founded based on the NIPS research meeting, NIPS research meeting is considered to be very important and useful by researchers community. NIPS International Workshop is beginning from last year. Inviting several guests from foreign countries, all talks are presented in English. This new style of workshop should be promising.
