About
The Global Lab is a collaborative environment where users can engage in realistic scientific activity, i.e. a lab. Unlike traditional research laboratories, the Global Lab is accessible by anyone, anytime, from anywhere, i.e. it is global. The project emphasizes the need to solve global issues, such as the reduction of CO2 emission.
In Japan, we are collaborating with the following labs and institutes:
- Graduate School Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo (Ishizuka Lab, Hirose Lab)
- Advanced Mobility Research Center (ITS Center), Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (Kuwahara Lab)
