The Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research (ROIS-DS), part of the Research Organization of Information and Systems (ROIS), was established in 2016 in Tokyo, Japan by ROIS as a joint-use, collaborative research institute for the integrated nationwide promotion of data science. ROIS-DS closely cooperates with other research institutions in ROIS and closely collaborates with their respective domestic and international research communities.
ROIS-DS handles a range of data in a wide variety of scientific research fields and promotes an open joint research program on data science to invite applications from external researchers to accelerate support and collaboration with external communities. Recently, the organization joined WDS as a Network member in February 2025. Read more about them here.
