About the areas
This program covers a wide range of technical areas in information and communication sciences. Issues that cannot be resolved by technological innovation based on conventional common sense or by innovation in specific technical areas are emerging as technological needs, becoming more diverse and complicated. Through efforts to achieve the Grand Challenges, this program aims to promote collaboration and integration between different technical areas, including personnel exchanges.
Technology categories will be established for the areas. Two areas, one focusing on the information and communication area and the other on the information processing area, are defined, and the PO of each area manages the area. Each area will encompass multiple technological fields and hierarchies, and the two areas will promote research and development in collaboration with each other.
