Cooperation with Domestic Institutions

Collaborating smoothly and reliably with industry, academia, and other public research institutions is essential for implementing research to resolve policy issues related to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. NMRI actively promotes exchanges with these institutions through Contract and Joint Research.
In addition, NMRI operates an open laboratory with a platform function. It enables both NMRI and its customers to take advantage of the experimental facilities at NMRI and to build fruitful cooperation by combining NMRI's knowledge and techniques with the seed ideas and knowledge generated by universities and corporations.
NMRI provides opportunities for study based on a collaborative graduate school system within which NMRI enables students to obtain various degrees of approved university credit. When universities and other institutions request permission for students to participate in research experiences and internships, NMRI honors those requests to stimulate research activities and disseminate its research results.
