International Cooperation

International Center for Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science

The Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) is a cutting edge research institute in undertaking physics and chemistry research on a wide of areas and our international level facilities include the MegaGauss Science Laboratory. We organize workshops regularly and invite international researchers (Visiting Professors) for short, medium, and long-term stays. We also build graduate students' capacity by broadening their international horizons(International Research Opportunities for ISSP Students).

Japan-U.S. Cooperative Research Program

The governments of Japan and the U.S. concluded umbrella agreements on science and technology cooperation in 1980. Under this framework, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) concluded agreements with ISSP and Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI, currently JAEA) and have been undertaking collaborative research on neutron scattering using spectrometers installed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) since 1983.

International Cooperation and Exchange Agreement

Agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoU) for collaborative research activities and exchanges are concluded with various research institutes and universities worldwide. As a center of international collaboration, strengthening collaboration through agreements and personnel exchanges with top research institutes and groups in the world's physical sciences is a priority. We also aim to establish a leading international research community network.
