The Research and Development Institute of Regional Information
The Research and Development Institute of Regional Information was established to conduct academic research utilizing local material and intellectual resources and contribute to the University's educational and research activities while forming a broad societal network with the government, local municipalities, companies, and citizens, etc. In addition to being self-organized through a flexible consortium of researchers inside the University addressing free research issues, the Institute serves as a liaison for industry-government-academia-community collaboration in research activities through cooperative relationships with outside organizations on a foundation of societal needs.
