About the RIKEN Europe Office
The RIKEN Europe Office was established in November 2018 as RIKEN’s 3rd overseas representative office. Its mission is to promote collaborative research and innovation with European partners. Located at the heart of the EU quarter in Brussels, it is where RIKEN can most effectively interact with scientific organizations in Europe (individual countries and regions, the EU, and other international organizations like CERN), as well as surrounding areas.
