Accepted Applications and Themes

NII is seeking a wide range of research proposals across various fields to utilize the Wide Area Data Collection Infrastructure in locations that have not been able to connect to SINET previously to collect research data, perform joint research with remote locations, conduct IoT-related research and so on. While examples of utilization are given in the application guidelines, do not consider those as limitation, and NII hopes to receive proposals for a wide range of uses.
