RIEC Cooperative Research Projects Outline

　As the Center for Cooperative Research on ICT, Research Institute of Electrical Communication (RIEC), Tohoku University works with the research community to conduct advanced research in this field and support the foundations for the future. It covers a variety of joint research and meetings (Type A and B) held at our institute on an individual proposal basis by researchers from domestic and international research institutes. Programs also include inter-institutional collaboration across multiple research disciplines. RIEC faculty members are in charge of each project. This cooperative research program does not presume simple joint use of RIEC facilities by participants; it features the precondition that participants conduct cooperative studies with research collaborators of RIEC.
