Multidisciplinary research institute.
Institute of Industrial Science (IIS), the University of Tokyo, is a research institute covering almost all the areas of engineering disciplines. It is mainly located in Komaba, Meguro-ku, Tokyo. Each of more than 110 faculty members – professors, associate professors and lecturers – has his/her own laboratory and more than 1,000 researchers come to IIS from inside and outside of Japan. They are carrying out various research – from fundamental research to applications – which opens future life.
Laboratories belong to one of 5 Research Departments. About half of them belong also to an Extraordinary Research Department, a Guest Chair, Corporate Sponsored Research Programs, Social Cooperation Programs, Research Centers or Collaborative Research Centers. Some laboratories join and form a research group, a study group or a research unit with a common purpose of research and sometimes they develop into research centers which can have their own budget and space.
