Collaboration in Japan

Page 5 of 6

CSIRO and Japanese scientists have been working together for more than 35 years, and have a number of important research relationships in Japan.

CSIRO is keen to increase cooperation in several areas including clean coal, remote sensing, and marine and atmospheric research.

CSIRO has been involved in collaboration with Japanese research organisations across a wide range of disciplines including:

  • marine science
  • energy research and technology
  • space sciences
  • livestock industries
  • light metals
  • flexible electronics.

CSIRO is taking an active role to further develop and strengthen its ties with Japanese institutions.

CSIRO has established links with key Japanese organisations including:

  • Kobe University
  • Keio University
  • Japan Coal Energy Centre
  • National Institute of Livestock and Grassland Science
  • Earth Remote Sensing Data Analysis Centre
  • National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
  • New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation
  • Furukawa Battery Company
  • Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.

A number of CSIRO-Japan activities are funded with the assistance of fellowships and grants provided jointly by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science [external link] and the Australian Government Department of Innovation, Industry, Science, Research and Tertiary Education [external link], as well as through the Prime Minister’s Australia Asia Awards [external link].

Collaboration examples

International collaboration to develop statistical tools for ecological management

Environmental statisticians from CSIRO and Keio University, Japan, are working together to develop solutions for environmental problems.

UltraBattery: no ordinary battery

This innovative advancement on conventional battery design from the Energy Transformed National Research Flagship delivers low cost, long life, high performance power and provides a solution for future energy storage needs.

Providing engineering solutions to coal mining problems

We are developing the tools to solve the coal mining industry’s top safety issues and increase the rates of extraction for this important resource.

COSFLOW: reliable prediction and management of water and gas flow in mines

COSFLOW is a predictive integrated software package which couples fluid (water and gas) flow through a porous medium with rock deformation and stress.

CSIRO and ERSDAC: remote partnering for remote sensing

CSIRO and ERSDAC are collaborating to deliver next generation remote sensing technologies for application in resource mapping and environmental monitoring.
