About this place
The National Institute for Environmental Studies (Japanese: 国立環境研究所, Hepburn: Kokuritsu-Kankyō Kenkyūsho; NIES) was established in 1974 as a focal point for environmental research in Japan. In 2001 it became an Independent Administrative Institution. NIES is organised into eight centers, each of which is subdivided into a further number of sections responsible for different specializations within the broader field to which they belong. The eight centers are responsible for research in eight different fields, with programs dedicated to these research areas.
