The Japan Global Research Center connects researchers in a variety of environments with industry, government as well as research institutes, linking the best Cambridge has to offer with the world. Due to the global reach of this organization,  ‘世,’  a Japanese Kanji which means 'the world’ or ‘society' in English, is selected as the main element of the logo. Japan Global Research Center is a place to connect. Thus, Japanese traditional ‘結,’ which means ‘a tie or a bond between two people’, is selected to give shape to this logo.
