In order to address the various environmental issues with which we are currently confronted, without any bias towards particular fields of specialty, it is imperative that each specialist field be treated of from an integrated viewpoint. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly necessary to provide new platforms for the exchange of information and expertise, both to forge ties and to foster closer cooperation, in order to address the various needs relating to environmental research and its efficient and effective implementation.

To facilitate this exchange the Network for Environmental Research Institutions was established in 2002, between the participating National and Independent Administrative Agencies, and National Universities - who have since worked in close proximity.

The Network fulfills the following functions:
　　　　　　① Facilitation of mutual understanding
　　　　　　② Exchange of information on important outcomes of environmental research
　　　　　　③ Facilitation of collaboration in environmental research via closer contact
