On Monday, March 14, 2016, at the Co-Evolutional Social Systems Innovation Facility, the Information Device Unit (Unit Leader Chihaya Adachi) gave a report on the second-half of FY2015. Organizations cooperating with the Information Device Unit and approx. 40 university affiliates convened and presented their research progress for the second-half of FY2015 for each organization. This resulted in a lively Q&A session by the participants. Also, to mark the end of phase 1 at the end of this year, we reviewed results of research and development in the past 2 years.

With the next social implementation phase in view, the Kyushu University COI Center and the Information Device Unit participating organizations will work together toward the social implementation of devices and further progress research and development.
