Possibility of RIKEN office in Brussels

• Develop a win-win relationship between RIKEN and Europe
• Strengthen RIKEN’s research by cooperating with Europe’s research institutes
• Broaden the basis of joint research and personnel exchange with Europe

For these objectives we are considering the possibility of setting up a RIKEN office to serve as a planning and coordination hub

Creating a virtuous cycle of brain circulation and world-class research

 Support for ongoing collaborative projects in Europe  Promoting activities for establishing new research hubs (seeking new partners)  Understanding EU science and technology policies (especially FP9)  Planning and proposing joint projects with EU institutes (especially matching fund projects)  Strengthening RIKEN’s presence thorough face-to-face networking with interested parties (daily contact, workshops / symposiums, participation in study groups).
