SUMMARY:Research at The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science a

DESCRIPTION:Title :
\nResearch at The National Institute of Advanced Indust
 rial Science and Technology\, AISTWhy AIST is the best place for your inno
 vative R&D?
\nKoichi Awazu\, Deputy Director\, Collaboration promotion and
  International Affairs Division\, AIST
\nAbstract: AIST is one of the larg
 est national research institute in Japan\, and performs both basic researc
 h and the application of same. But the gap between basic research and indu
 strialization is very deep and wide\, and is therefore aptly called\, “t
 he Valley of Death”. That is the reason why many high quality basic rese
 arches remain basic research for a long period without reaching commercial
 ization. Do you have any good ideas for achieving commercialization quickl
 y?
\nWe at AIST have many solutions for realizing fast commercialization. 
 In my talk\, I will introduce our systems for open innovation platforms\, 
 the role of innovation coordinators\, and our open innovation laboratory i
 n universities etc\, together with some success stories. Moreover\, we bel
 ieve that diversity is the most important environment for innovation. We e
 mploy medical doctors\, physicists\, chemists\, computer scientists etc an
 d engineers with industry experience. We also look for talented students f
 rom all over the world\, because scientists overseas have their own backgr
 ounds\, e.g.\, cultures\, philosophies\, etc. We at AIST believe that the 
 merging of researchers with different backgrounds is the definition of inn
 ovation. We would be highly delighted if you develop an interest in studyi
 ng as a tenure-track and a tenured researcher as well as a postdoctoral re
 searcher in AIST at the conclusion of this seminar.
