Earth–Life Science Institute (ELSI) is an established[1] independent permanent scientific research institute based at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. ELSI employs more than 70 scientists[2] in disciplines ranging from astrophysics to biology, who perform collaborative research on the broad connections between the origin and evolution of planets and life.
ELSI was established in 2012[3] with a charter to build a bridge between the Earth and Life sciences by rallying researchers around questions concerning the link between the origins of planets and life. ELSI has satellite-institutes at Ehime University, Harvard University, and the Institute for Advanced Study, and is currently led by Director Kei Hirose and Vice Directors Shigeru Ida and John Hernlund.
Funding sources
Funding sources for the institute include a combination of support from Japan's World Premiere International Research Center Initiative (approximately $7M/year[4]), a grant from the John Templeton Foundation to establish the ELSI Origins Network (EON, $5.6M[5] for three years), a variety of project grants from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), and anonymous private donations.
