Inter-Institutional MOUs

NIMS has sister research institutions around the world with which we engage in academic exchange through comprehensive partnership agreements known as memorandums of understanding (MOUs).

These comprehensive partnerships with leading research institutions involve multiple research units and groups at NIMS. Thematically, the exchange agreements cover the entire field of substance and materials science research. Workshops are also held regularly.
