JVEC turns into VDF-Tokyo! 
(24Sep2004)  JVEC was established in May 2003 in Tokyo. After more than one year of monthly workshops and networking with Hanoi, we are happy to upgrade JVEC (informal gathering) into VDF Tokyo (research project). We hope to integrate research in Japan and Vietnam even more, and strengthen our financial standing. Activities will be expanded and the web has been renewed (this site). VDF Tokyo will be managed directly by GRIPS, while VDF Hanoi will continue to be a joint project between NEU and GRIPS. Though the budgets remain separate, the two VDFs will do research together.   VDF-Tokyo policy
