The Japan-US Research Collaboration Week (JURC) launched in 2021 to create a robust foundation for research exchange between Japan and the United States. Through our innovative “Research Highway” concept, expert symposiums, and hands-on collaboration workshops, we’ve built a dynamic community of 200+ internationally-minded researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders. Our participants range from Nobel Prize winners to emerging graduate students exploring cross-border collaboration for the first time. Our research portfolio spans cutting-edge fields from precision medicine and ME-BYO wellness technologies to next-generation semiconductors, AI agent, and sustainable innovation solutions.
JURC 2026 builds upon our proven track record of facilitating research partnerships that translate into real-world impact. Participants gain exclusive access to successful collaboration models, funding opportunities through programs like ASPIRE, and direct connections to research leaders who are actively shaping the future of international scientific cooperation.
