Outline of MfIP

The mathematical community of Japan has played an important role, international, over many years. However, as digital transformation (DX) continues to expand throughout society, we are increasingly required to establish a new mathematical foundations capable of responding to challenges arising across industries, various scientific fields, and society, while fostering interdisciplinary value and innovation.
Mathematics for Industry Platform (MfIP) aims to establish a nationwide platform to address societal needs through Japan’s mathematical community and to foster the development of “Convergence Knowledge”.

MfIP discovers needs and seeds to solve problems in industry, society, and various scientific fields through collaborations.

  • MfIP provides the collaborative database that can match solutions of problems, joint researches, internships, etc between industry, society, and various scientific fields and mathematics.
  • MfIP hosts workshops that explore new collaborations between industries, societies, various scientific fields, etc and mathematics.

MfIP provides an environment for fostering collaborations between mathematics and industries, various scientific fields, and society.

  • MfIP hosts events showcasing examples of mathematical applications across industries, various scientific fields, and society.
  • MfIP hosts workshops that employ Project-Based Learning (PBL), for example “study group”.

MfIP serves as a liaison office for building collaborative networks between mathematics and industries, various scientific fields, and society.

  • MfIP provides opportunities to establish collaborative networks with mathematics through the Joint Usage/Research Center.
  • MfIP provides a liaison office for initiating collaborations with mathematics to support for problem-solving, joint research projects, internships, and more.
  • MfIP supports for exploring new collaborations opportunities with the mathematical community.

MfIP promotes the circulation of expertise between mathematics and industries, various scientific fields, and society by giving value to intellectual assets and investing in academic research and development.

  • MfIP implements projects that support collaborative research, including those between mathematics and industries, various scientific fields, and society, via human resources developments and administrative collaborations.
