This center has been established in the campus of Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) and in NIMS based on the agreement for IITH-NIMS Joint Center for Materials Science, which was concluded on April 6th, 2021 between IITH and NIMS.
IITH has received supports for campus construction and student-exchange programs from the Japanese government through Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Many excellent researchers in the field of Materials Science and AI have been educated and are actively involved in research there.
IITH has already concluded the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with NIMS in 2019 and the International Cooperative Graduate Program agreement in 2020. Under these agreements, we have been promoting collaborations. This research center aims at inviting IITH talented faculties on their sabbatical leaves to conduct joint research at NIMS.
