About World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI)
Launched in 2007 by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the WPI aims to attain the highest levels possible for scientific research environments at nine designated centers. This bid to achieve "global visibility", including attracting the world's best minds, also seeks to create a new model for Japanese academia, imparting greater autonomy to each institution in order to spark transformations in leadership, administration, and operation.
