The 6th Advisory Board (Fiscal 2010)

 

 The Advisory Board, an external committee whose role is to evaluate the work of NTT Basic Research Laboratories (NTT-BRL), met from February 14 - 16, 2011. This was the sixth meeting of the Advisory Board, which was first convened in 2001 to provide an objective evaluation of our research plans and activities to enable us to employ strategic management in a timely manner.
 Over the course of the three days the board made valuable suggestions and comments in relation to our research and management activities. They commented that the research level is generally high on an international scale, and that it is important for us to maintain this top-level research and transmit information about our research achievements to the world. They also raised several issues related to human resources, the research budget and internal and external collaboration. We plan to make improvements based on these valuable suggestions.
 At this meeting, the NTT-BRL researchers had a lunch with the board members and a poster session, where they had chances to present their researches to the board members. The poster session was followed by a dinner party where the board members and the NTT-BRL researchers were able to interact in a casual atmosphere. For the NTT-BRL and NTT executives, we organized a Japanese style dinner, which provided a good chance to discuss the future management strategy of NTT-BRL from an international perspective. The next board meeting will be held in two years.
