Similarly, the world we see today is merely the tip of an iceberg, beneath which must lie a wealth of great discoveries yet to be imagined. The Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science (FRIS) was established at Tohoku University to pioneer and promote research that transcends disciplinary boundaries and contribute to the development of a rich human society. A research environment where researchers with broad-ranging specialties, especially early-career researchers with fresh sensibilities,can come together to integrate their ideas and discover new knowledge is also rare by national standards. There is no restriction of fields of study, research themes, or norms.We believe that such an environment, which allows researchers to take a leap in the dark, is what is needed to produce the great discoveries that will move human society forward. Chemistry amongst the leaders of the next generation will surely be a creative force in the next 100 years. We invite those who are ready to step forward with us.

From the Early-Career Researchers of FRIS FRIS (researchers from various fields) × CoRE (environment allowing them intensive interaction) ＝Expanding the frontier of 　human knowledge Organisms have evolved in diverse ways, through their interactions with the natural environment and other species. Likewise, we believe that diverse researchers will grow when they are given an environment where they can go beyond their respective disciplines by interacting with researchers from other fields. We also believe that new, richly diverse strands of science will bring about a variety of innovations. What is special about FRIS, Frontier Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Sciences, in the context of Japan is that it is an institute that brings together ❶ early-career independent researchers ❷ from all over the world, and ❸ from wide-ranging specialties, a place where diverse researchers co-exist and interact with each other. The basic goal of this fund is to create new, richly diverse strands of science through synergy between FRIS and CoRE. What FRIS aims to realize is "CoRE," an environment where those diverse research seeds "thrive together" through continuous mutual stimulation. CoRE, which stands for Cooperative Research Environment, enables routine interdisciplinary exchange by providing experimental facilities for a wide range of fields under one roof. Researchers Pushing the Boundaries of Knowledge with Interdisciplinary Interaction Young researchers from different disciplines, brought together by FRIS, have teamed up to take on high-risk, high pay-off challenges in new research areas.
