Interuniversity Cooperation and Aid

ProjectsIwate Regional University Unit(IRU)North East Life Science Unit(NLU)
Survey of seeds Collect information about seeds of innovation (such as patents, copyrights and know-how) from each IRU member, regardless of whether humanities or sciences, and make the members share such information so that it may help them to transfer technology and thereby contribute much to the local community. However, IRU members are under no obligation to provide information. Collect information about seeds of patentable ideas especially in life sciences of the members (hopefully, independently owned by NLU members), and make the members share such information so that it may facilitate technology transfer. However, NLU members are under no obligation to provide information.
