The Open Centers at OIST are dynamic hubs that enhance the university’s visibility in targeted research clusters and foster multi- and interdisciplinary research through a shared scientific vision. These centers are central in promoting open science and enhancing collaboration, visibility, and exchanges with researchers from other universities and industry partners. Open centers also harness opportunities for large external funding and donations, supporting the recruitment of talent at all levels to advance OIST's strategic objectives. The formation and longevity of each open center are determined through a careful evaluation process that merges strategic initiatives with collaborative faculty input, ensuring alignment with both OIST's institutional goals and the dynamic landscape of research opportunities.
