CNRS is France’s public organization for conducting basic research, with more than 10,000 researchers and 1,300 service and research units. NIMS has played a proactive role in the last four implementations of the Japan-France Workshops on Nanomaterials, while also developing a wide range of cooperative research initiatives on materials and substances with affiliated research organizations. These collaborative efforts prompted the two organizations to conclude this agreement, which aims to enhance the number and scope of Japan-France collaborations on Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology.
Prof. Kishi, President of NIMS and Prof. Jean-Luc Clément, Director of International Affairs, CNRS, convened at the signing ceremony and expressed their commitment to developing a closer cooperative tie between the two organizations.
