Research Organization
The Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences (IMS) has four academic centers of practice: the Typhoon Science and Technology Research Center, the Research Center for Sustainability, Resilience and Well-being, the Research Center for Next-Generation Health Technology, and the Semiconductor and Quantum Integrated Electronics Research Center, as well as five units: the Biosphere Research Unit, the Co-Innovation Dynamics Research Unit, the Artificial Intelligence for Innovation and Co-Creation Research Unit, the Research Unit of Safety Science for Advanced Engineering Systems and the Global Cultural Heritage Research Unit.
These research centers and research units, which take on the challenges of global social issues, aim to realize their respective visions for the future and contribute to solving global-scale issues facing humanity and co-creating innovation through dialogue with society, based on the synergy of the outstanding new technologies of the Institute of Advanced Science (IAS).

Research Support System
The IAS and the IMS bring together international researchers in a wide range of fields from both within and outside Japan to undertake high-level research projects. Dedicated research strategy planning managers have been assigned to realize focused support not only for the putting in place of a leading-edge research environment, external funding management, and research outreach activities (including research PR and science communication), but also for the building of a researcher network that links together the researchers at the IAS and the IMS across the boundaries of their respective research fields.
