Overview
The University is privileged to have cutting-edge research facilities and equipment along with expert technical support staff. While the University’s research facilities and services are primarily for its own research and education, the utilization of excess capacity by external academic or industrial users can contribute to the advancement of science and technology in Okinawa and can foster active research communities around the University. -Policies, Rules & Procedures Chapter 4.16
When our facilities have excess capacity, and we can ensure that the safety and reliability for our internal users is not compromised, we provide for the external use of our facilities when possible.
Self operation of OIST Core Facilities equipment
After appropriate safety and operation training it is possible for external users to gain access to the equipment of the OIST Core Facilities.
Measurement /Fabrication Service
In some cases it is possible for OIST Core Facilities to offer full service in the measurement or fabrication of samples. Due to the labor intensive nature of this work it is limited.
