Research Projects List
The Integrated Research Institute is promoting several research projects as solutions research in each of the strategic research areas as well as promoting the start-up of new solutions research projects. In order to further improve the validity of solutions research by means of such activities, the Integrated Research Institute is also in the process of developing research programs as a total framework for the creation, implementation, management, and evaluation of solutions research projects. It will be engaged in the co-evolution of both solutions research projects and solutions research programs. Current research projects and activities for solutions research projects are shown below.
