A research project titled “AI for Industrial Materials Development Based on Tacit Knowledge and Scientific Evidence” has been selected for the “Strategic Target-Driven” research type of the AI to Redesign Scientific Exploration (ARiSE) Program, administered by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).

The project was jointly proposed by Nippon Paint Corporate Solutions Co., Ltd., which supports the Nippon Paint Group’s domestic operations and undertakes R&D, and the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Engineering and Graduate School of Frontier Sciences.

ARiSE (AI to Redesign Scientific Exploration) is a flagship initiative promoted by JST based on the Japanese government’s Basic Strategic Policy for Promoting AI for Science.

Drawing on the University of Tokyo’s expertise in AI and materials science and the tacit knowledge the Nippon Paint Group has accumulated over 145 years of paint and coatings development, the project aims to create AI technologies that support materials development through reasoning grounded in the physical behavior of materials.
