March 20, 2009 - A fact-finding group from the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) visited CNSI to collect information on the current state of nanotechnology in the United States. CNSI was singled out for special attention because of its leading role in this field.
Discussions were held regarding nanoscience research presently underway at CNSI, and the process of commercializing these results. A final report of their findings will be submitted to MEXT, the Japanese ministry which funds academic research, and will be the basis for Japanese government policies on support for nanotechnology over the next decade.
The JST delegation was lead by Dr. Jun'ichi Sone, Vice President for Research at NEC and included; Dr. Hitoshi Tabata, Professor of Electronic Engineering at the University of Tokyo; Kohei Uosaki, Ph.D., Professor of Physical Chemistry at Hokkaido University; Naoya Kaneko, Fellow, Center for Research and Development Strategy, Japan Science and Technology Agency; Hiroshi Tsuda, Fellow, Center for Research and Development Strategy, Japan Science and Technology Agency; Tomohiro Nakayama, Ph.D., Fellow, Program Officer, Center for Research and Development Strategy, Japan Science and Technology Agency; Kazunobu Tanaka, Ph.D., Principal Fellow, Center for Research and Development Strategy, Japan Science and Technology Agency.
