Kick-off meeting of the JFAST International Research Laboratory (Japan)
After more than twenty-five years of scientific collaboration, CNRS, Grenoble Alpes University and the University of Tsukuba in Japan have created the J-FAST laboratory, a new International Research Laboratory (IRL).
One of the ambitions of this new laboratory is to develop manufacturing processes for energy and material-saving devices.
For the CNRS, this is the eighth IRL in Japan, the first with the University of Tsukuba.
