Crossing disciplines, borders and scales

摘要

Founded almost a century ago in 1917, today RIKEN is Japan's largest research institution in the natural sciences. It has a prestigious history of conducting research in a wide range of specialized scientific areas. Throughout its history, RIKEN has also strived to integrate research across disciplines to deepen our knowledge of the comprehensive nature of our physical and biological environment. This vision has resulted in a better understanding of how phenomena on different scales - from the atomic level to the ecosystem and beyond - shape the world we experience.
