In 1916, it was the first Tohoku University research institute, of which there are currently six, to be established. Aiming to contribute to the well-being of the human race and the development of civilization through the creation of new materials that For Researchers As Graduate Students or Special Research Students are useful to society, it carries out research on both the fundamentals and applications of a wide range of substances and materials. ■ GIMRT accepts your proposal submissions To study at IMR as “Graduate Students,” you must pass an entrance After its founding, IMR first focused on steel but quickly expanded exam of an appropriate graduate school that the laboratory you wish its research field to the other metals and alloys. Then, in response to to be affiliated with offers collaborative courses at.
