  • GCOE PC cluster
  • Multi-point TV conference system.
  • Analysis Package (IDL, etc.)
Workshop support
Support various scientific meeting in GCOE, budget, meeting equipment, web site, and so on.

Promoting inter-disciplinarity program

Promote inter-disciplinarity program focused in 4 cross-field topics across 3 research teams as “Evolution of Universe”, ”Particles and Space-time” and “Space Environment”.The four topics are;

  • Particle acceleration and space plasma
  • Dark matter and dark energy
  • Inter-stellar matter and structure formation
  • Origin of matter and space-time

Working groups formed for each４topics are driven by GCOE designated associated professors to have a series of intensive discussion or “inter-disciplinarity seminar” by visiting researchers.

Research funding for PhD students and young researchers

Support research activity of PhD students and young researchers by funding for their original research proposal.
