About Fujitsu Small Research Lab
Develop future technologies more with universities
Fujitsu is promoting the project "Fujitsu Small Research Lab" that Fujitsu establishes research labs at universities in Japan and overseas and Fujitsu researchers are stationed or stay for a long period of time there to conduct industry-academia collaborations.
The Fujitsu's conventional industry-academia collaborations has been usually collaborations between individual researchers based on a common technological theme (as connecting Dots). However, as social issues have become increasingly complex in recent years, it is important to select research themes from a higher perspective and to conduct research activities that merge the humanities and the sciences. For this reason, we will use the Fujitsu Small Research Lab as a base to strengthen organizational and medium- to long-term collaboration with professors and students in a wide range of fields (as connecting Surfaces) to solve social issues through the fusion of different fields. We will also contribute to the efficiency of research and development, discovery of new research themes and development of human resources including students.
Expanding to universities in Japan and overseas
Fujitsu currently has 13 labs in Japan and 4 labs overseas. We will continue to establish new Fujitsu Small Research Lab at universities in Japan and overseas to further expand our industry-academia collaborations.
Features and Objectives of Fujitsu Small Research Lab
Solving social issues through integration of different fields
Respond to increasingly complex social issues by integrating multiple technical fields through cooperation with various professors and students.
Efficiency of collaborative research
Create an environment where Fujitsu researchers quickly collaborate and share information with professors and students to conduct collaborative research efficiently.
Discovery of new themes
Create new themes that cannot be discovered by Fujitsu alone, through timely information collection and exchange of human resources and technology within universities.
Human resource development
Lead to the development of human resources including students by having researchers from both Fujitsu and the university inspire each other in close proximity.
5 key technologies
Conduct researches in 5 key technologies on which Fujitsu is focusing;
① Computing ② Network ③ AI ④ Data & Security ⑤ Converging Technologies.
Smooth promotion structure
Promote close collaboration between both industry-academia collaboration promotion departments to support research activities and hold various exchange events.
