Steering Commitee of the Horonobe Research Institute for the Subsurface Environment
The Horonobe RISE Institute is required to conduct research using the deep-stratum research facility to be built by the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, while taking advantage of the geographical characteristics of the district. Since this requirement involves collaboration among the local town of Horonobe, the Horonobe Underground Research Center, the Hokkaido Government and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, these organizations have jointly formed a steering committee of Horonobe RISE to determine the Institute's management policy and so forth.
The Steering Committee consists of representatives from the abovementioned organizations, as well as academic experts from the outside world. Respecting the autonomy of Horonobe Town, the mayor of Horonobe has been appointed to chair of the Committee.
