The University has four types of collaboration between industry and academia: “Collaborative Research”, Contract Research”, “Social Collaboration Course”, and “Donation Course”.
We discuss in advance with the coordinator how best to determine the optimal form of collaboration depending on the purpose, period, and method of the research. There are a wide range of variations because in practice they are tailored to the circumstances of the individual studies. The IOI Organization mainly handles joint research and social collaboration courses. Depending on the content of consultations, we also provide information on contract research and endowment courses. Please feel free to contact the coordinator first.

The IOI Organization responds to a wide range of corporate needs, from searching for missing parts for corporate technologies to proposing innovation models and creating new businesses. Even if the research laboratories where the company wants to collaborate are not clear at this time, the coordinator will identify the potential needs of the company based on consultations and match them with a wide variety of researchers at the University of Tokyo. We will provide support with flexible coordination that responds to various forms of collaboration, from contract reviews to conclusion.
