System for promoting industry-academia-government collaboration
Collaboration Research System
What is collaborative research?
Collaborative partners bear the expenses of research funds, and do research together with partner researchers or engineers and the institute.
Collaborative research partners
Any researchers and any research institutions in any location that need the institute’s technological expertise or research results can join our collaborative research programs.
Collaboration Research Expenses
This expense should include travelling expenses, equipment, supplies, labor costs and research supporters at KIT. We discuss that with research-partners to decide the total expense.
Expenses for Specially-Sent Researchers or Engineers
It costs 420,000 yen per person for one year to have special researchers or engineers from private institutions. We discuss that with research-partners to make decisions.
- We sometimes bear part of the research expenses.
- Research contracts could be for more than one year, in which case expense payments are needed every year.
- Management expense is 30% of the research expense. In addition to the research expense, management expense must be paid. We discuss that with research-partners to make decisions.
