Overview

Institute of Science Tokyo established the Core Facility Center (formerly the Open Facility Center) in April 2020 as an organization to oversee the development and utilization of shared research facilities. The Center is made up of all technical staff from the university.

The Center continues to make use of the characteristics of the University's initiatives for providing access to a variety of facilities. Simultaneously, it is efficiently managing and operating these facilities and is spearheading the planning and implementation of new research facilities.

Furthermore, we are pursuing the training and certification of highly skilled technical personnel to support our research insfrastructure. We are taking a two-pronged approach––upgrading our research facilities and developing the capabilities of our staff––with the aim of becoming an organization that provides the latest research infrastructure. This web page introduces the various initiatives of the Center and provides information about the shared facilities. Additionally, the web page provides access to the utilization of the shared facilities. Since it is still under maintenance, each of the divisions has a contact point for the utilization of the shared facilities. However, we plan to incorporate everyone's opinions and establish a unified and easy to use system in the future. Kindly look forward to the evolution of this web page and anticipate the future activities of the Core Facility Center.
