CNRS Cooperation with Japan
JAPAN HAS LONG BEEN A STRATEGIC AREA FOR CNRS TO DEVELOP ITS INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION.
Japanese universities and research institutions have been developing for years solid tradition for excellence. This is strongly supported by the public policies, as exemplified by Japan being for years among the world top five countries when you take the Gross Domestic Expenditure on Research and Development as a percentage of the GDP.
Japan is among the world top countries for the number of CNRS structured collaborations, notably the IRL (International Research Laboratories), which are true full CNRS laboratories in Japan. This cooperation is producing excellent research, corresponding to the expertise of the various partners involved and also to the qualities of confidence, trust, and long-term vision which mark these collaborative projects.
