This field sets out to offer a paradigm for the materials R&D which leads the significant acceleration of R&D with integrating data science, computational science, theory and experiment. To this end, we will engage in active discussions with researchers inside and outside NIMS and develop data-driven methods from the perspectives of common materials issues, with applications ranging from data collection (and/or creation) to data utilisation. We will also develop high-throughput data collection techniques to support data-driven research and build a materials knowledge base to organically link various databases.
