For Industry Partners

Collaboration Policy

From the perspective of prioritizing the social significance and public benefit of our research outcomes, we give priority consideration to proposals that meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Projects that directly contribute to the stability of society and the economy, or to maintaining and improving people's livelihoods
• Projects that go beyond short-term commercial interests and are expected to create long-term, public value
• Projects that can be conducted under a framework ensuring the independence and neutrality of our research

Please note that we may be unable to accept proposals that do not align with the above criteria, or due to commitments to existing projects. We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Inquiry Process

Consultations regarding joint research, funding, and related matters are generally coordinated with relevant departments within the university. Even if you contact us directly via email, we may redirect your inquiry to the appropriate university office as needed.

When making an inquiry, we kindly ask that you prepare a brief written summary of your proposal (approximately a few A4 pages). After reviewing the materials, if we determine the proposal aligns with our laboratory's mission, we will arrange a more detailed discussion.

Laboratory Visits

Requests to visit our laboratory are also evaluated through the same process outlined above. We are unable to accommodate visits or meetings at the stage before a written proposal has been submitted. We appreciate your understanding.
