Research Center

Research at Tokyo Metropolitan University has produced excellent results in each specialized area. Currently, 13 research centers have been established to disseminate research results both inside and outside the university. In addition, new “Research Cores” have been established for research groups with outstanding achievements that aim to form a new research center.
