-
The Institute’s Applied Research Division, managed by Prefectural Government, and Basic Research Disision, managed by Kyoto Prefectural University, shall work in collaboration to carry out interdisciplinary research in useful genes of agricultural produce and biotechnology for advanced and highly practical research and development.
-
Taking advantage of its location in Kansai Science City, the Institute shall actively seek collaboration with private, public and national research organization and other universities for efficient research and development.
-
The Institute shall make its facilities available to the prefectural general public to serve as a place of continued education in agriculture and biotechnology, and support research activities by farmers, agricultural organizations, researchers, private corporations and the like.
