The Japanese-French joint research program "Advanced Search Framework for Global research to Accelerate Creation of Innovation" for which Professor Kiyoshi Tanaka of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering (Vice Dean of the Faculty) is responsible has been selected for the "Strategic Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program for Accelerating Brain Circulation" (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science). In this program an international research team will be formed from Shinshu University and the University of Electro-Communications in Japan, and from the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique (INRIA, Saclay), INRIA Lille, Lille University of Science and Technology, and University of the Littoral Opal Coast in France. The objective is to open up the state of the art in evolutionary computing and take the lead in creating international innovation by the mutual exchange and interaction of graduate students in the doctoral program and post-doctoral researchers.
The kick-off event was held on October 28th, 2013 in which Dr. Marc Schoenauer of INRIA Saclay stated in his address "This project is going to promote research exchanges between Japan and France, so let us all aim for the further development of evolutionary computing". Yoshimasa Miura, Trustee and Vice President of Shinshu University introduced the university stating "Here in Nagano Prefecture where advanced industries such as precision machinery and materials are developed surrounded by a rich natural environment, we are undertaking the challenges of research into the development of new world-class technologies together with the local community". Professor Kiyoshi Tanaka who is responsible for the project presented an overall view of the project, which aims at creative innovation through the most advanced technology in the world jointly at 6 centers in Japan and France.
