TIA Office
A consortium of five institutes, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), University of Tsukuba, The University of Tokyo, and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK), has established an “open innovation hub,” named TIA, to set up a world-class base for the promotion of research and education in nano-technology. The TIA Office supports KEK’s participation in the TIA by planning, organizing and preparing the meetings, symposia and workshops.
