Based on the former successes of cooperative research projects between two university institutes (FY2005-FY2006)
and multi-party alliance projects (Post-Silicon Alliance of FY2007-FY2009, and Nano-Macro Materials, Devices andSystem Research Alliance of FY2010-FY2015), “Dynamic Alliance for Open Innovation Bridging Human,
Environment and Materials”（Five-star Alliance）has been started in fiscal year of 2016 as for the 6 years project toattempt strategic development of next generation “Materials, Devices, and System" for bridging human, environmental
and materials as a cooperative research project with five outstanding university institutes including, Research Institutefor Electronic Science (RIES) of Hokkaido University, Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials(IMRAM) of Tohoku University, Laboratory for Chemistry and Life Science (CLS), Institute of Innovative Research(IIR, former Chemical Resources Laboratory) of Tokyo Institute of Technology, the Institute of Scientific andIndustrial Research (ISIR) of Osaka University, and Institute for Materials Chemistry and Engineering (IMCE) of
Kyushu University.
The “Five-star Alliance” project is aiming to realize true and clearly-targeted academic and industrial “innovation”
through the deeper and more effective cooperation researches among the alliance members. For this purpose, thefive-star alliance has strategically established three research groups covering the important topics; “Electronics materials
and devices (G1)” , “Environment and energy materials, devices and process (G2)” , and “Life science materials,
devices and systems (G3)” . Not only within the group but also between groups, various types of multidisciplinary
collaborative researches are carried out.
In addition, the five-star alliance starts new and innovative programs; "Expanded Collaborative Research" is a public
offering type program for external researcher, who enforces joint research with two or more institutions members.
Of-stay type cooperative research program “CORE Lab” is presided over by a young researcher as a principal
investigator for carrying out “covalent” researches. The joint research program “Next Generation Young Scientists”
encourages the graduate students. Support program for networking technical staffs beyond the five institutes is also
promoted. All these alliance programs are promoted under the strong and mutual correlation with the “Network Joint
Research Center for Materials and Devices” project.
