ASPIRE (Adopting Sustainable Partnerships for Innovative Research Ecosystem) is a support program designed to build research networks between Japan and top research institutions around the world. This kick-off meeting represents the foundation of the International network for "Experimental Science of Non-model Microorganisms" between the ILTS (Institute of Low Temperature Science) at Hokkaido University, and the SYNMIKRO/Philipps-University of Marburg.
