In this area, the research period is divided into two phases: the first half one to research the creation of more basic science and technology, and the second to tackle the verification and demonstration of new principles, new materials and new devices.
Based on the fundamental science and technology created in the first half phase, research teams and researchers inside and outside the domain (CREST, PRESTO cooperates) mutually cooperated and submitted research proposals for the latter phase with a new team structure. The following teams have been accepted after the step-up evaluation.
As a “valuable fundamental research”, we will work to develop and strengthen with a view to leading to cooperation with the industry.
Step-up evaluation adopted research teams: 2019
Step-up evaluation adopted research teams: 2020
Step-up evaluation adopted research teams: 2021
