"Interdisciplinary laboratory for Nanoscale Science and Technology (INST)" was established in 2007 in order to promote "nanotechnology - driven materials research." The mission of the Center is to support innovation by providing advanced nanotechnology fabrication facilities and consulting services for researchers in academia, industry, and government laboratories. The Center has two laboratories to facilitate interdisciplinary research involving solid-state and life sciences.

“Nanotechnology Network” sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan
Nanotechnology Platform
Japan’s "Nanotechnology Network" is a Program sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). For five years starting from year 2007, academic, business, and governmental nanotechnology researchers will have the opportunity to use facilities and equipment at 13 network sites with cutting edge nanotechnology. The aim of this Program is to generate research results that will lead to innovations. Fourteen institutions participated in "Nanotechnology Support Project" in the previous term. Now, the number has been greatly increased, and 13 sites and 26 institutions are participating in "Nanotechnology Network", enabling high-level technical support in nanotechnology to various requests from the research community. "NIMS Center for Nanotechnology Network" will provide support in the three out of four areas designated by MEXT to cover in the Program - "Nano-characterization", "Nano-fabrication", and "Extreme Conditions". Continuing from the previous term, we have agreed to function as a center, or a representative and a coordinator of the nation-wide network.
