The characteristics of researcher cultivation
NEC stated that they would achieve a target of 300 AI researchers by FY 2018 while maintaining sustainable investments in basic research (FY 2016 IR).
This target was exceeded significantly, with a current number of 470 researchers, and there are plans to strengthen the surrounding areas more in the future.

In 2015, Selective Compensation Program for Professional Researchers was introduced, and a research fellow post was established.
Furthermore, the "Selective Research Professional System", which has no upper limit on remuneration, was introduced for non-managerial positions (young researchers).
