The Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST) and the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) hold an open house once a year. It's a great opportunity to explore the cutting-edge research being carried out at the University of Tokyo.

We open the research institute to share our research activities with experts and the general public. There are symposiums, research lectures, and science classes for elementary and junior high school students. Many laboratories will be open to the public.

To participate in the University of Tokyo Komaba Research Campus Open House 2026, please register online in advance. On the day of the event, present your 'Participation Certificate (参加証)' (on your smartphone screen) at the reception to confirm your registration. The registration page is available in Japanese only.

For those who do not have internet access or find it difficult to register in Japanese, registration terminals (available in both English and Japanese) will be set up at the reception area.

The Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS) is one of the largest university-attached research institutes in Japan. UTokyo-IIS comprises over 120 research laboratories—each headed by a faculty member—and has over 1,200 members (approximately 400 staff and 800 students) actively engaged in education and research. The research field is highly multidisciplinary and covers almost all the areas of engineering disciplines from micro and nano scales such as quantum levels to large scales such as the global level and space. Since its foundation in 1949, UTokyo-IIS has worked to bridge the huge gaps that exist between academic disciplines and real-world applications.

The Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), has promoted research and educational systems that have broken the traditional university molds, and has tackled many “Japan's first” projects. In a free research environment, over 40 laboratories are conducting ambitious research projects in fields ranging from cutting edge research in science and technology, to social sciences and barrier-free social systems of the future.
