The "World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI Program)" was established by Japan's Ministryof Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in FY2007 as a system for providing large-scale
support for projects aimed at creating preeminent research centers staffed by a core of the world's mostprominent researchers. In FY2010, the "International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER)" ofKyushu University, with a satellite at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, was selected as the only
awarded WPI Institute to serve in the vital area of energy research and sustainability through scientificcontributions toward the realization of a low-carbon society.
