JAPAN: SCIENCE POLICY and RESEARCH ORGANISATIONS

dd 2004:

Key organisations 2

Universities 4

Previous document:

The purpose of this document/file is to allow research oriented parties a quick scan of the 'landscape of science policy and research Organisations' in Japan.

Blue underlined text signifies direct www access by hyperlink.

Starting with responsible Ministries, the organisational lines and links were followed to the individual research organisations in successive appendixes. And/or, other bits and pieces of www-info were derived from business cards, suggestions in (paper and e-) news magazines, suggestions of all sorts of colleagues, friends and (their) visitors and used if the information is or was publicly available on the internet.

The URL list is not considered to be completed, it will be very much longer if -for instance- link pages of all universities and poly techs etc. were followed to find their related and specialised research institutes, joint ventures etc.

Note

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) was born on Oct. 1, 2003, merging the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan(NAL), and the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), and a new JAXA website was created. Only on the new website can you find all the updated information. For your information, NASDA's website is also accessible for a short period after Oct. 1.
