Collaboration projects with Kawasaki City: promotion of advanced research and new industries by industry, government, and academia.

Shin-Kawasaki Town Campus (K2) was established in the Shin-Kawasaki Forest of Creation in the year 2000, in collaboration with Kawasaki City. As a base for industry-government-academia collaboration, the campus promotes cutting-edge research, new industries, and new business initiatives. Specifically, 18 research projects in the fields of robotics, environment, energy and other areas have been implemented in AY 2023 and the campus has brought forth new technologies, new industries, and venture companies by linking the diverse research outcomes of each of these projects with the resources and needs of companies or other organizations. In addition, some of its research achievements were also introduced at open seminars organized for companies, research institutions, and the general public based on partnership activities with Kawasaki City.
(In AY 2023, these seminars were held both in-person and online a total of three times.)
Furthermore, the campus organized events such as “A Happy Day Playing with Science” aimed at young children, providing a space that allows people to interactively learn about science and technology in an enjoyable manner.
(The "Happy Day Playing with Science" in AY 2023 was the first regular event in four years since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. It featured 25 hands-on science sessions held indoors and outdoors)
