EUJO-LIMMS Kick-off Meeting

EUJO-LIMMS : lancement du premier laboratoire international de la Commission européenne au Japon.

EUJO-LIMMS (Europe-Japan Opening of LIMMS), le premier laboratoire international de la Commission européenne au Japon est lancé jeudi 2 février 2012 à Paris.
Il est issu du LIMMS (Laboratory for Integrated Micro Mechatronic Systems), une unité mixte internationale entre le CNRS et l’Université de Tokyo dans les domaines des micro et nano-technologies appliquées à l’ingénierie et à la biologie.
Le projet EUJO-LIMMS s’ouvre à trois nouveaux partenaires européens : l'EPFL (1) (Lausanne, Suisse), l’IMTEK (2) (Fribourg, Allemagne) et VTT (3) (Finlande).
Il va donc renforcer de manière significative la collaboration et la recherche entre l’Europe et le Japon afin de relever de nouveaux challenges scientifiques en ingénierie et en biotechnologies.

EUJO-LIMMS Scientific Meeting - PM 1:00 - Bw403

The European Commission launched a INCOLAB initiative aiming to settle international research laboratories in 6 countries (Brazil, China, India, Japan, Russia, U.S.A). The EC objective is to open 1 international collaborative per country based on existing EC members operational structure.
LIMMS/CNRS-IIS, based on if 16 years of fruitful collaboration between CNRS and IIS/The University of Tokyo applied by proposing to open its structure to close European partners. This proposal EUJO-LIMMS (EUrope-Japan Opening of LIMMS) was ranked first for Japan and was selected by the EC as the (first) European Laboratory in Japan.
EUJO-LIMMS aims to reinforce research collaboration between Europe and Japan to tackle new challenges in micro and nano technologies. LIMMS opens its structure and hosting capacities to researchers from three European institutions that had already networking activity with both CNRS and UT, and they agreed to join the program. These partners are EPFL in Switzerland, IMTEK in Freiburg, Germany and VTT in Finland.
This presentation will detail the challenges and goals of EUJO-LIMMS (administrative, scientific and financial issues will be addressed). Speakers : D. Collard, T. Fujii, H. Hirano
