Overview

We are facing various crises such as climate change, infectious diseases, and population decline. Our laboratory promotes researches in the fusion of near fields of electronics, machinery, and informatics, and to develop green digital solutions for low-carbon society and sustainability in the fields of mobility, manufacturing, and infrastructure. The "Near Field Research" program has been launched as a driving force for the green digital transformation in the fields of mobility, manufacturing, infrastructure, etc. The researches will be conducted by integrating the electrical, electronic, mechanical, and information fields of our design engineering area, which have been near but far from each other.

History

Green-innovation Center of Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) was founded to develop the results of "highly efficient energy utilization" and participates in the "Kyoto Next Generation Energy System Creation Strategy" being promoted in the Kyoto region in 2015. The center was reorganized as Green-innovation Lab in 2018 as part of the efforts to strengthen research capabilities and industry-academia collaboration. Green Innovation Lab is a research center that integrates researchers, proposes new power control systems that integrates power electronics and advanced communication functions, and develops prototypes. It has become a center for promoting research and development in the field of green innovation in the university's functional enhancement projects. In 2022, with the aim of further strengthening our research capabilities, we established the Monozukuri Education and Research Center (MERC). In 2022, Kyoto Lab for a Greener Future was established by integrating the research fields of the Monozukuri Education and Research Center (now Monozukuri Unit of Open Facility Center) to further strengthen research capabilities. 　　Please visit the below link sites for information on the anechoic chamber and clean room operated by the predecessor Green Innovation Lab. ・Use of anechoic chamber: Clik here ・Clean room sharing projec: Clik here ・Center for Open Access Facilities (COAF) : Clik here ・Center for the Possible Futures: Clik here
