The Institute for Chemical Research (ICR) of Kyoto University has vigorously pressed forward its frontier and advanced research in diverse fields surrounding chemistry to “Excel in the Investigation of Basic Principles of Chemistry and Their Applications.” The ICR advanced domestic and international research projects as an international Joint Usage/Research Center (iJURC), proclaiming “Global Frontier and Interdisciplinary Research Core for Deepening Investigations and Promoting Collaboration in Chemistry-oriented Fields.” In 2021, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan (MEXT) favorably evaluated the activities of ICR-iJURC to renew the iJURC. By applying such achievements, ICR will energetically continue to advance its activities to develop global chemical collaborating research.
