Co-hosts:

Core Research Cluster for Materials Science (CRC-MS)
The participating departments of CRC-MS include the Graduate School of Science, the Graduate School of Engineering, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute of Multidisciplinary Research for Advanced Materials, the Advanced Institute for Materials Research, the Rare Metal and Green Innovation Research and Development Center, and the Material Solutions Center. Various events and Award by CRC-MS are open to all people involved in materials science research at the University.

Center for Science and Innovation in Spintronics (CSIS)
The Center for Science and Innovation in Spintronics (CSIS), Tohoku University, which was formerly the Center for Spintronics Integrated Systems, started in April 2019. The new center will fulfill the role of World-Leading Research Center for Spintronics at Tohoku University with the aid of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan.

International Joint Graduate Program in Materials Science (GP-MS)
Materials support core industries and lead to new innovation. The development of materials science and engineering will play an extremely important role in our future. This program aims to cultivate internationally capable and highly creative professionals in the field of materials science by providing opportunities to interact with the leading researchers in the world.

Graduate Program in Spintronics (GP-Spin)
The GP-Spin aims to promote a world-class graduate education in cooperation with overseas organizations on an equal partnership. To foster "Global leaders" who can play an active role in the global society, we promote an International Joint Graduate Program in Spintronics, the field with our great advantage, with the world leading professors.
