Japan 101

Stand from Japanese research bodies at the 2013 AAAS meeting.
By Michael Banks in Boston
There is certainly a big presence from Japanese research bodies at the 2013 AAAS meeting in Boston.
In the exhibitors’ hall, the World Premier Institutes (WPI), RIKEN and the Okinawa Institute for Science and Technology all share a large central stall plugging their research and facilities.
Indeed, this presence may well be part of Japan’s drive to increase the number of foreign researchers and students in the country by actively highlighting its top research and facilities, a topic Physics World touched upon in a special report published last September.
