Research Fellows ・ Collaborative Works

The Research Fellow Program allows RIKEN to accept researchers from universities, research institutions, and industry upon request from their home institutions, enabling them to participate in collaborative research and other research activities under the supervision of RIKEN researchers.
Research Fellows work closely with RIKEN research teams, applying their specialized knowledge and technical skills to advance research projects, promote interdisciplinary collaboration, and generate new research outcomes.
