Collaborative Innovation Set Out by NINS
The National Institutes of Natural Sciences (hereinafter referred to as “NINS”) is one of the inter-university research institute corporations that plays a central role in academic research for researchers belonging to national, public and private universities and research institutes nationwide. Each university has state-of-the-art research facilities and equipment that are difficult to maintain and manage, intellectual infrastructure such as a huge amount of academic materials, and human resources with the knowledge necessary to use these and we provide researchers nationwide with opportunities for joint research and new field development.
