What is GIMRT?

In principle, GIMRT distinguishes from more usage of experimental facilities, but rather conducts joint research projects performed in the divisions of IMR in order to address researches in materials science fields.

Who can apply for GIMRT?　

Collaborative research is opened for academic-staff members of universities and research institutions sponsored by various governmental agencies, mainly the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture, as well as private organizations.

How dose GIMRT support your research?

GIMRT is the bridge for multi-core collaboration research to establish international open research alliances in materials science.
GIMRT offers support for overseas researchers to visit Japan for research collaborations involving IMR, domestic, and non-Japanese researchers.
GIMRT offers opportunities for young scientists from Japan to conduct research at overseas institutions.
GIMRT helps to coordinate international workshops, joint-projects, joint-laboratories and knowledge sharing as well as research material transfers.
