The signing of an Academic Exchange Agreement between the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA and the Research Institute for Electronic Science (RIES) of Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan occurred on Tuesday June 10th, 2008 at the CNSI Building.
The Academic Agreement will be the basis for collaborations and exchanges of students and faculty between RIES and CNSI in the area of nanoscale research into electronics and biological systems.
This agreement serve as an early indication of skills required for those wanting to participate in near future top tier scientific research in physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics.
