RIMS was certified as an International Joint Usage/Research Center on Nov. 13, 2018.
A new website is coming soon.
Joint Usage Research Center
To promote mathematical science research in Japan, this institute is
serving as a Joint Usage/Research Center that provides researchers
nationwide in the related fields with opportunities and assistance for
various joint usage. Joint usage research plans are publicly solicited
once a year. The proposals are reviewed and adopted by the technical
committee and advisory board.
In addition, for important and urgent plans that are drawn up when
excellent researchers come from overseas, considerations are given so
that they will be implemented efficiently as special plans.
Form of Joint Use Research
RIMS Symposia (open)
Open joint research on a specific theme is conducted for several days at this institute. The research program will be distributed to the organizations concerned beforehand.
RIMS Workshops (open/closed)
A group of two or more researchers will conduct research as joint use researchers for 1 to 2 weeks at this institute.
RIMS Camp-style Seminars
This is a workshop where researchers from inside and outside Japan can gather and discuss under the same roof. Its purpose is to contribute to a quantum leap in each field of research and the development of next-generation leaders. (This project started in 2008, and since 2016, international recruitment has been performed as part of the internationalization of the center activities.)
Long-term researchers
These researchers conduct research as joint usage researchers for two weeks or more at this institute. One of the important purposes is to exchange opinions with nearby researchers.
