The figure surpassed that obtained at the Muon facility of Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, pushing MUSE to the world frontier of muon science. It also means that the unprecedentedly high muon flux of 1.5 x 107/s (surface muons) will be achieved at MUSE when the RCS proton beam power reaches the designed value of 1 MW within a few years. We achieved World strongest pulsed surface muon beam at J-PARC MUSE D1&D2 area even with 120 kW intensity. on November,10th 2009 µ± Muon Kicker System Muon pulse (a) >100ns time structure of muon pulsebefore kicker Time Fast (b) raising B-field which is 300ns Pulse B-Field synchro nized to Time muon pulse (c) Time structure of muon pulse after Kicker Single Pulse can be Time obtained.

  • Integrative Medical Sciences Stratified Medicine for a Healthy Long-Lived Society
    RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences Stratified medicine for a healthy long-lived society. Creation of a research platform for new biomedical science. Japan is facing urgent health issues, such as lifestyle-related diseases, various cancers and brain-function disorders, in an increasingly aging society. It has become apparent that the human immune system not only relates to autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and allergies, but also to many other age-related disorders. It is now thought that disease onset is caused by highly complex combinations of environmental stresses and body reactions, in addition to genomic variations, in each individual. At the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS), we aim to clarify the pathogenic mechanisms underlying human diseases and to translate this knowledge into novel therapies for the benefit of society. IMS will tackle various research questions Director to expound the functions of the human genome and immune system. IMS research is Kazuhiko Yamamoto based on the concept of disease as a dynamic body system interacting with environmental stresses. We will create a research platform to clarify the processes that maintain or disrupt body homeostasis and then transfer that knowledge into the creation of new therapies and medicines. In particular, IMS will strengthen its genome and immunology research platforms through new inputs from functional genomics research, with special emphasis on gene expression networks such as the FANTOM project. Based on this new research platform, IMS will integrate the knowledge of both human genome function and immune system, and lead cutting edge science to solve the problems of various diseases. IMS will promote comprehensive multi-layered analysis of the genome, epigenome, proteins, lipids, cells, organs and individuals.

  • Centre for Intellectual Property Strategies (CIPS) – Japan
    Centre for Intellectual Property Strategies (CIPS), Japan Centre for Intellectual Property Strategies (CIPS), Japan 1 (by Jonas Scholze, OECD)2 Description of the approach The Centre for Intellectual Property Strategies (CIPS) is an institution within RIKEN, Japan’s largest research centre. It consists of a multitude of research institutes with different headquarters distributed across Japan. Additionally there are some international branches in South East Asia and Europe. RIKEN was founded in 1917 by a range of private companies as a cooperative centre for joint research. In 1958 the centre changed to a public research institute. Since 2003 it has been administered as an independent administrative institution within the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Today it is one of the world leading research centres for basic and applied research in the field of physics, chemistry, medical science, biology and engineering. CIPS was established in April 2005, is located in Saitamo near Tokyo and acts as mediator between the research centre and the private industry. It aims to coordinate tasks connected to the protection of intellectual property and to capitalise on research achievements of the RIKEN institutes. However, its task is not confined to patenting and licensing of inventions and research achievements and associated legal processes. It is also used as a contact point for academic-industry linkages. Such programs enable and fund joint research activities between private companies and RIKEN research institutes. Thus CIPS continues to function as the increasingly popular approach of a ‘one-stop shop’ – a single internal contact point for a range of functions and services.

First, the background and history of the development of these institutions are described briefly. We employ four measures drawn from patent data (inventor forward citation, examiner forward citation, family size, and generality index) to describe the inventive activities of PRIs. Universities’ and firms’ patents are used as benchmarks. The impact of the PRIs’ research collaboration with the private sector is analyzed as well. We found that each of the three PRIs has been playing a unique role in Japan’s innovation system. In addition, we found out that universities’ patenting activity has been facing difficulties particularly in recent years. Finally, we discuss the factors that might affect the research outcome. Keywords: Public research institute, University, Patent, Research collaboration JEL classification: O34, O32 RIETI Discussion Papers Series aims at widely disseminating research results in the form of professional papers, thereby stimulating lively discussion.

Under the MoU, there will be exchange of researchers and staff; exchange of scientific and technological information, including delivering of lectures and holding joint seminars and symposia; exchange of scientific and technological research materials; joint research and development; and sharing of best practices in intellectual property management and technology transfer. Over the past few months, study teams from A*STAR have been visiting RIKEN to explore joint research areas and three key areas have been identified for possible collaboration: i) Cancer: Structural analysis and drug development related to cancer transcription factors. ii) Infectious diseases: Screening and rapid diagnosis for known and unknown environmental pathogens. iii) Neuroscience: Training of promising young neuroscientists from Singapore at RIKEN. “Singapore is a vital partner for Japan in tackling problems specific to Asia (the environment, diseases particular to the region, etc.). I believe that technologically and socially it has a variety of strong points in Asia. A*STAR has medical, chemical and engineering research institutes and the Biopolis plan. I believe that there are thus many areas of research on which RIKEN and A*STAR can collaborate.

The goals of USJP HEES are to improve mutual understanding and cooperation within the U.S.-Japan higher education community and to capitalize on its strengths within the global higher education context. The U.S.-Japan Higher Education Engagement Study is made possible through the generous support of the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership. Visit www.acenet.edu/usjp-hees to learn more about the project. Introduction The Japan-U.S. Digital Innovation Hub Workshop is an initiative of U.S. and Japanese institutions of higher education that aims to establish a consortium for collaboration on joint research and education in the fields of data science, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity. The annual workshops provide lectures and encour- age debates to promote bonds between research institutions of the two countries, allowing for synergistic sharing of knowledge and resources for developing advances in these fields. Participants have included many top-level representatives of government agencies and industries from both countries. Beginnings of the Workshop The idea of updating and strengthening Japan-U.S. collaboration in the field of digital sciences was officially discussed at the 12th U.S.-Japan Joint High-Level Committee Meeting on Science and Technology Coop- eration held in Washington, DC in April 2013, which was attended by high-level policymakers for science, technology, and education from both countries.
