As of 2023, Japan's share of scientific publications in biomedical engineering involving international collaboration stood at a certain baseline. From 2024 onwards, a gradual increase is forecasted, showing a consistent year-on-year rise from 13.6% in 2024 to 13.86% in 2028. The rising trend indicates an increasing propensity for Japanese researchers to engage in cross-border collaborations, driven likely by the need for diverse expertise and resources in the biomedical engineering field.
Looking forward, watch for:
- Impact of governmental policies promoting international academic partnerships.
- Emergence of global health challenges necessitating international cooperation.
- Advancements in communication technologies further simplifying collaboration.
