Research Abstract

Learned a lesson from the science mobilization in World War I,Japan began to reorganize and strengthen the national research and development system. As a part of it, the government established several basic research institutes. Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (Riken) was one of a well known example. Another example was Ad hoc Institute for Nitrogen Research under the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. The third were university attached research institutes.
1. The first one was Institute for Epidemics attached to the University of Tokyo. Originally, Institute for Epidemics established as a private institute, then transferred to under the Ministry of Home Affairs, and again transferred to the University of Tokyo. As a result of the history, the organization of this institute was different compare to that of the faculty.
2. The second one was Institute for Aeronautics attached to the Universtiy of Tokyo. Aeronautics was a inter-ministry research field which had close relations to the Ministries of Army, Navy and Posts and Telecommunication.
3. Institute of Metallurgy attached to the University of Tohoku and Institute of Chemical Research attached to the University of Kyoto were examples outside of the University of Tokyo established early. Both in the field of material science, which was a basic private technology and the basis of many industries. It was a remarkable contrast to the institutes attached to the University of Tokyo, which were basically in the field of public technology.
