The University of Aizu

Description of Organisation

ARC-Medical officially started its activities on September 1, 2009. One of the most important activities of ARC-Medical is research in areas related to both “medicine” and “information science” and to connect specialists in both fields. The University of Aizu is proud of its international researchers in information science, who have attained a great number of scientific results. However, those achievements have hardly been given back directly to society because research on how to give back research achievements to society (so-called “exit research”) and practical activities for this purpose have not been given a high priority. Given these circumstances, we will focus on research projects for which results can be given back to society in the near future seriously taking into account the above point. is research in areas related to both “medicine” and “information science” and to connect specialists in both fields. The University of Aizu is proud of its international researchers in information science, who have attained a great number of scientific results.

About CAIST: Interlaboratory research teams called "cluster" were respectively established for three emphasized fields of research, Space Science, Local Environment, and Medical Engineering, Research will be promoted to meet social needs, so that CAIST can contribute to development of local industries and creation of new businesses, based on its achievements.
