National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences
Description: The former National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences (NIAES) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) was founded in 1983 to conduct advanced and basic technological development pertaining to the control, maintenance and utilization of the agro-environment, including the biological environment. The new National Institute for Agro-Environmental Sciences (NIAES) was turned into an Independent Administrative Institution (a semi-autonomous agency) on April 1, 2001 and concentrates to fulfilling its research mission on a global scale as follows: 1) strategies to ensure stable food supplies under global environment change, 2) assuring the safety of food and environment utilizing the natural circulation function of agriculture, and 3) succession of the agro-environmental resources to future generations.

National Institute of Advanced Indurtrial Science and Technology
Description: The research of industrial technology concerns about not only the acquisition of knowledge, but also about an aspect to utilize the technology to the public. Therefore, we are expecting the establishment of Full Research which comprises through the basic research to the application of the result, moreover we believe to advance in Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Research which AIST is highly motivated to promote, the encouragement of Type-II Basic Research which enables to derive the development of the industrial technology from the results of basic researches, and the challenging of Venture for Matured Researcher which is developed by the researchers who experienced the management of research in order to inspire the world to be stimulated furthermore, as our major contribution.

National Institute of Polar Research
Description: The center was established in 1990 with two tasks: first, to function as the national coordinating office for the world Arctic research community; secondly, to conduct its own research. The recent rapid growth in human activity is affecting the environmental conditions of the entire planet, and particularly the two polar regions. Because of concern about this activity, Japan, as a country located in the northern hemisphere, supports environmental research in the Arctic region, which is being carried out generally within the framework of international cooperation. The center is operated by scientists who specialize respectively in various research fields concerning the Arctic environment. At present, eight scientists representing the original disciplines of meteorology, glaciology, oceanography, terrestrial biology, and upper atmosphere physics are collaborating on the study of the structure and variations of the atmosphere, and the marine and terrestrial environment of the Arctic. The knowledge and experience accumulated by NIPR from its Antarctic research are essential for the Center in planning and executing Arctic research.

National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research
Description: NIWA’s mission is to provide a scientific basis for the sustainable management and development of New Zealand’s atmospheric, marine and freshwater systems and associated resources. Established in 1992 as one of nine New Zealand Crown Research Institutes (CRIs), NIWA operates as a stand-alone company with its own board of directors and its shares held by the Crown. The company has a staff of around 630, annual revenue of $84 million derived from competition-based research grants and commercial enterprise, and assets of $65 million (figures from 2003 Annual Report). Our science provides the basis for sustainable resource management, and our consultancy services help clients solve problems on the use and management of: Atmosphere & Climate, Coast & Oceans, Freshwater, Fisheries and Aquaculture. Spread throughout New Zealand, NIWA has its corporate headquarters in Auckland, main research campuses in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Lauder, and field offices in the smaller centres. Research vessels are maintained in Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch. The company has subsidiaries in Australia and the USA and a vessel company.

NOAA Paleoclimatology Program 
Description: NOAA works closely with the international PAGES/ CLIVAR initiative to improve our understanding of societally relevant climate variability and our ability to predict future climate change. NOAA contributes to the PAGES/CLIVAR initiative by supporting the World Data Center for Paleoclimatology, and by providing extramural support (jointly with the National Science Foundation) for the Earth System History Program area of special emphasis on paleoclimate variability

Nordic Centre for Studies of Ecosystem Carbon Exchange and its Interactions with the Climate System
Description: The Nordic Centre for Studies of Ecosystem Carbon Exchange and its Interactions with the Climate System (NECC) is a virtual Centre consisting of 14 research groups from institutes in Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and Finland. With the creation of this centre the existing Nordic measurements of carbon dioxide and methane exchange from different ecosystems are linked in one Nordic flux-network. Currently 47 sites are within the Centre, including 26 eddy-flux sites with measurements in forests, agricultural land, wetlands and above lakes. The aim of the Centre is to obtain a better understanding of the factors regulating the carbon balance of typical sub-arctic and boreal ecosystems and to improve the co-operation in both research and education in the field of carbon exchange. The NECC is funded by the Nordic Centre of Excellence (NCoE) Pilot Programme from 2003 to 2007. The NCoE was initiated by the Joined Committee of the Nordic Natural Science Research Councils (NOS-N), the Nordic Council of Ministers and the NorFA.

North Central Research Station
Description: Resource conditions are in the midst of an historic change. As 78 million new people join the planet each year, ecosystem services such as air and water purification, nutrient recycling, production of renewable goods are growing more precious and pressured. Whose job is it to ensure that ecosystems stay healthy enough for the work ahead? Here in the Midwest, this awesome responsibility rests with our clients, the people who are asked to make tough calls about natural resources every day. Consider the county commissioner who must vote on whether to replace forestland with additional housing. Or the governor who must decide whether to invite a chip mill to the state. Or the sanitarian who must lobby for a tax increase to protect a town watershed. Or the landowner who must decide to plant, harvest, or subdivide. These decision-makers are being asked to allocate precious resources, and the consequences of their decisions will reverberate for years to come.
