4 1.Purpose of external evaluation 1. Periodical Evaluation 2. We will have the intermediate evaluation about Joint Usage /Research Program by MEXT (Governemt) in 2018. 3. We will submit the proposal to a new program called “International Joint Usage/Research Program” starting in October 2018.

2.1 Missions of ICAT 5 1. ICAT performs the fundamental researches to reveal the basic concepts about catalysis and to develop the new catalysts. 2. ICAT transfers these new concepts and catalysts to industry and society in order to realize the catalyst- induced innovation and to the sustainable society. 3. ICAT develops next generation researchers and leaders through the above activities. 4. Joint Usage / Research Center

6 2.3 The ICAT strategy 1. Three-departments system to promote the fundamental science and to put it into practical application.  diversity of the research 2. Accumulation and Application of the knowledge about catalysis and catalysts.  Catalyst Informatics 3. Expansion of our Activities to Different Science Fields.  diversity of the research Inter-organizational Cooperation  a member of IRCCS, collaborations 4. with AIST, KEK, RIKEN,and NIMS 5. Establishment of Global Catalysis Network  MOU between world-wide research centers and institutes.
