Industry Collaboration
Partnership with Industrial Member Companies
TAC-MI adopts a unique system of “Partnership with Industrial Member Companies”. Advisers in partner companies provide TAC-MI with pieces of advice in education and event programs as well as they mentor TAC-MI students to enlarge their social views and to become multitalented human beings. On the other hand, industrial partner companies can make opportunities for their researchers to join lectures and exercises held by TAC-MI and can advance human resource education in material science and information science, consequently.

Message from Industry-Academia Collaboration Coordinator
I majored in plasma physics and X-ray astronomy in my student age and had led R&Ds and system designs of microlithography equipment and X-ray inspection system for 35 years in an industrial enterprise, and then joined TAC-MI, Tokyo Tech on March, 1st, 2019. It is indeed important for the sustainable future of Japan and the world to foster human resources who can use Materials Informatics freely because a social standard of value is being determined drastically from a global view point. Utilizing my long experience in industry, I would like to make TAC-MI’s education under industry-academia collaboration rewarding. Member companies and TAC-MI students, let’s build and improve this education scheme with us !
