| There are two organizations in the JGN2 project: One organization aims at implementing R&D and the other aims at promoting R&D. |
 Organization which Aims at Implementing R&D
he R&D by utilizing the JGN2 network is categorized into "public" and "own". As for the public R&D, each user signs a joint research contract with NICT to conduct it and a number of public users participate in it. As for the own R&D, NICT conducts it at its own Research Centers as responsible organization, working on the most advanced research themes. At NICT Koganei Headquarters and NICT Knowledge Creating Communication Research Center, the research on advanced and fundamental core network technologies is being carried out by utilizing the JGN2 network. |

Organization which Aims at Promoting R&D
The conference for the next generation high-speed network promotion is established to ensure the promotion of R&D as well as the smooth and efficient management.
Furthermore, under the conference for the next generation high-speed network promotion, there are Secretarial Board, Promotion Sectional Committee, Research Promotion Committee and International Collaborative Research Committee. In Secretarial Board, a certain necessary concrete promotion policy regarding R&D is discussed from specialized and technological standpoints for the purpose of smooth management of Promotion Sectional Committee. |
|
| Promotion Sectional Committee collaborates with the industry, the academia, the government and regional organizations while discussing the promotion of the JGN2 network utilization and the activation of R&D. In Research Promotion Committee, the promotion of R&D is discussed in collaboration with NICT researchers and researchers of external research institutions including JGN2 Research Centers. In International Collaborative Research Committee, to enhance the utilization of the Japan-USA and Japan-Asia international circuits, a certain number of global research are discussed to create them regarding some applications such as Digital Cinema, Security, Distant Education, Contents Distribution and also regarding the global optical network activities. |
