Concept

Aim

Pioneering and creating new science to support sustainable innovation

PRI conducts research from a long-term perspective, transcending disciplinary and organizational boundaries and considering the role of science in society. Through these efforts, PRI aims to pioneer and create new fields of science.

Mission

To achieve this goal, PRI brings together researchers from diverse fields with outstanding research achievements, broad perspectives, and strong leadership. By supporting them in pursuing their own research from a long-term perspective, PRI seeks to foster new science that transcends disciplinary and organizational boundaries while considering the role of science in society.
