Umbrella MoU, cross-appointment, joint ethics.
Open institute
Universities, government, and industry
PIRI has no teaching campus. Its value is a Japanese institutional seat connected to an already peer-reviewed international network.
Open call
We are seeking formal overseas university partnerships.
We invite computer-science, AI, biometrics and health-informatics graduate schools. As a Japanese general incorporated association, PIRI can host joint research, co-supervise master’s and PhD work, co-host meetings, and act as the Japan implementing lab on grants. Degrees remain yours.
