French research in Japan

Last Saturday the annual meeting of the French researcher in Japan was held at the Maison Franco-Japonaise at Ebisu, Tokyo. The theme ‘’French research in Japan’’, was a good opportunities to understand how collaboration between French and Japanese researchers was developed since the last 20 years.

The day started with a presentation of Dr. Hidetaka Ishida, director of the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies of the University of Tokyo about the Todai Forum 2011, which focused on state of French speaking research in Japan.

Then a discussion about French laboratories in Japan was held. In Japan, there are some French laboratories. These laboratories are under the regulation of the CNRS but they are located in Japan and have strong collaboration with Japanese researchers. The University of Tokyo welcomes two of the three French laboratories in Japan.

In order to have a complete view of the French research in Japan, a second discussion focused on the research of French companies in Japan. The director of the research and development department of Danone Japan Co. Ltd., the director of Nihon Michelin Tire Co. Ltd., and the director of Nikon-Essilor International Research Center Co. Ltd took part of the discussion. They detailed why French companies developed a large research and development program in Japan and what are the advantages and disadvantages of this choice.

Then, French researchers were invited to give short presentation about their researcher in order to show the large variety of the research made by French researcher in Japan. In this context I gave a presentation entitled: Uranium in the Ocean.

Finally we finish the day, with a cocktail!

横山先生、インド訪問

横山先生がロナクレータープロジェクトの研究打ち合わせのためにインドのHyderabadを訪問されました。
NGRIのDr. Kumarと、所長や教授会のメンバーと交流されたそうです。

NGRIは地球化学分析の装置が非常に充実しているとのことです。

毎日Dr. Kumarの家に招待され、地元のお食事をご馳走になったそうですが、「ゲストがいるときはホストはゲストより先には食べられない」など、インドの文化に驚かされたそうです。

またインドのポスドクになりたての方に話を聞いたところ、既に著名な雑誌に論文が５本あるなど、英語圏である利点を生かして精力的に発表しているとのことでした。

日本も負けてはいられない！！
