The Public Relations Office (PRO) handles official PR activities of IMR. The PRO publishes a variety of materials, including visitor brochures, the public relations magazine IMR News KINKEN, which highlights the latest research achievements and activities of the Institute, and the annual reports Research Highlights and IMR Abstracts. The PRO also manages the website, providing timely and up-to-date information.
In recent years, the PRO has expanded audience-focused outreach programs and publications to communicate IMR’s research and educational activities more effectively. The biennial KINKEN Open House features science programs for children, laboratory tours for secondary school students, and history and facility tours for local residents. The PRO has also launched new publications for technical college and undergraduate students.
Visits by high school students and corporate groups are increasing, providing opportunities to learn about the world-renowned KINKEN through tailored tours of laboratories and historic facilities.
Through these activities, the PRO promotes public understanding of IMR and contributes to education and society.
