  • U.S.-Japan Science Collaboration

    CONNECT THE U.S. AND JAPAN THROUGH SCIENCE: THE OIST FOUNDATION FOSTERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR U.S.-JAPAN COLLABORATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AND PROMOTES U.S.-JAPAN SCIENCE DIPLOMACY THROUGH EVENTS, WORKSHOPS, AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS. THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN ARE BOTH WORLD LEADERS IN THE FIELD OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. SINCE THE SIGNING OF THE U.S.-JAPAN AGREEMENT ON COOPERATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN 1988 AND ITS EXTENSION IN 2014, THE TWO COUNTRIES HAVE COLLABORATED ON COMPLICATED ISSUES RANGING FROM LIFE SCIENCES TO SPACE. THESE ACHIEVEMENTS ILLUSTRATE THAT ENHANCING SCIENTIFIC COOPERATION PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN THE U.S.-JAPAN ALLIANCE AND FURTHER ITS ROLE IN ADDRESSING CRITICAL GLOBAL CHALLENGES. THE OIST FOUNDATION ACHIEVES THIS THROUGH: 1) BRINGING TOGETHER LEADING SCHOLARS AND THINKERS FROM JAPAN AND THE U.S. TO EXAMINE AND DISCUSS THESE TOPICS, 2) ASSISTING THE OKINAWA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN DEVELOPING RESEARCH LINKS WITH INSTITUTIONSIN THE UNITED STATES, AND 3) BRINGING TOGETHER LEADERS IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND VENTURE CAPITAL IN THE U.S. AND JAPAN TO WORK WITH OIST TO BUILD AN INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM IN OKINAWA, AND 4) CULTIVATING A STRONG OIST ALUMNI NETWORK IN THE UNITED STATES.
