ResearchThe Special Characteristics of Our Research7TOPICSImplantable/Wearable Medical Device Co-Creation ConsortiumJapan Science & Technology Agency (JST) Program on Open Innovation Platform with Enterprises, Research Institute and Academia (OPERA) Shinshu University was selected for the Japan Science & Technology Agency (JST)’s Program on Open Innovation Platform with Enterprises, Research Institute and Academia (OPERA), and created the Implantable/Wearable Medical Device Co-Creation Consortium,an initiative which brings together companies and research institutions. The consortium has accelerated the pace of development of medical devices through the im-plementation of advanced research and development along with human resource training in the eld of medical devices, and the construction of an “physiological data integration system” that consolidates and shares information related to the development of medical devices.Research Center for Fungal and Microbial Dynamism (CFMD)Research Center for Agricultural and Food Industry(CAFI)Research Center for Social SystemsResearch Center for Next-Generation MedicineResearch Center for Aerospace Systems (SURCAS)Next-GenerationResearch CenterClustersInterdisciplinaryCluster forCutting-EdgeResearch (ICCER)5Research InstitutesInstitute of Carbon Science and Technology (ICST)Center for Energy and Environmental Science (X-Breed)Institute for Biomedical Sciences (IBS)Institute for Fiber Engineering, Shinshu University (IFES)Institute of Mountain Science (IMS)International Center for Science and Innovation at Shinshu UniversityGlobal Aqua Innovation Center for Improving Living Standards and Water-Sustainability (COI)Shinshu University has been selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) as a Center of Innovation (COI) site (one of eigh-teen in Japan). This national-level industry-academia-government collab-orative project, which combines leading technologies, will promote social systems innovation with the goal of making water use more sustainable.Interdisciplinary Cluster for Cutting-Edge Research:A group of 5 research institutes charged with cre-ating new elds of interdisciplinary research.We have established an Interdisciplinary Cluster for Cutting-Edge Research (ICCER), where our resources will be channeled into research fields (Carbon Sci. & Tech., Energy & Environmental Sci., Fiber Eng., Mountain Sci., and Biomedical Sci.) that are unique to Shinshu University. We aim to boost our research and technological innovation capability through the elevation of the research level of our younger professors and through collaboration with distinguished researchers from around the world. We are condent that cutting-edge research and the integration of separate research elds in the ICCER will lead to the development of a Center of Excellence.In addition, Shinshu University has established 5 unique Next-Generation Research Center Clusters which aim to be the next Interdisciplinary Cluster for Cutting-Edge Research.
