Collaboration with Private Sectors:Gaps between Research Laboratory

and Industry

Technology in laboratory is not always usable in industry.

Technical training, Collaboration research are important to transfer know-how and to develop applied technology.

AIST started “Collaboration research for utilizing IP”.

Indexes of CollaborationsIndexes of Collaborations

Target in the 1st medium-term plan period; > 1400 collaborations in FY 2004

[ Background of setting ]○In the 1st medium-term plan period, we aimed at increasing

the number of collaborations.○In the 2nd medium-term plan period, we aim at increasing the

amount of research fund from the industries supporting collaborations

Changes of the amount of research fund offered from industries[ Action plan to achieve the target ]

○Constant growth of fund-offer-type collaborations due to the promotion of “Full Research” approach and maintenance of industry-academia-government collaboration program

○Research programs entrusted from industries now on the right tracks

Increase the present level of commissioned research.

Double the rate of fund from industry for collaboration

Target in the 2nd medium-term plan period;

>1.5 times as much research fund from industries as we received in FY 2004
