2 Research Institutes of the University
Research institutes attached to universities aim at promoting
scientific research in specialized fields of science. Such research institutes
consist of several research departments which correspond to chairs (teaching/research
units) at undergraduate faculties.
Besides research institutes attached to universities and national
inter-university research institutes, there are other types of university-related
research organizations. In the case of national universities these include; 1)
research institutes which, though attached to a certain university, are open
for joint use to all university researchers in Japan, 2) educational and scientific
research centers for joint use by all faculties and departments of the university,
and 3) laboratories attached to the faculty or research institutes affiliated
with the university.
