| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to support establishing the academic principles of molecular engine, group meetings, research meetings, and symposia were held. Also, collaborative researches were promoted through joint research proposals and technical support. In addition, ME-Hub was established as a support organization to promote collaborative research in this area, and actively supported interdisciplinary research. The ME-Hub provided advice, technical support, and information on the construction of molecular engines, and supported collaboration among researchers in different fields. In parallel with this, support for international activities was provided and outreach activities were conducted. In addition, with the cooperation of companies, ME-Innov was established to encourage industry-government-academia collaboration in molecular engines.
