Exploring and investigating research projects requires broad insight, deep expertise, and diverse perspectives. In the investigation Toyota Konpon Research Institute commissions research projects to universities. The commissioned research teams develop the research projects set in exploration while verifying their true value.

Activities to verify, evaluate, review, and determine research projects discovered through exploration
Many investigative research themes are challenges in unknown and unexplored research fields. Consequently, we can expect situations that do not proceed as planned, or differ from initial assumptions. Therefore, it is necessary with agility review the original plan.
Through a continuous cycle of hypothesis verification, evaluation, and refinement, we strive to develop theories and technologies that are not only original but also expandable and universally applicable. By iteratively evolving these concepts, we aim to establish them as the next generation of cutting-edge research themes that will attract a diverse range of researchers.
