History
LIMMS KIKO, (LIMMS =“Laboratories for International Research on Multi-disciplinary Micro Systems”) was established April 1st 2021 for a period of 10 years and is based on the LIMMS/CNRS-IIS IRL 2820, which has been managed by CNRS and IIS for 25 years as a Japan-France collaborative research center, in order to transcend departmental boundaries and comprehensively bring in the intellectual creativities of the University of Tokyo.
