CONCERT-Japan (SICP)
1. Project Objectives
CONCERT-Japan is one of the international cooperation activities of the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). Within the framework of the FP7, the European Union is engaged in a variety of science and technology cooperation activities, and in January 2011 the CONCERT-Japan Project was launched with the general aim to further develop science and technology cooperation between Europe and Japan.
With a formal membership of 13 partner funding institutions representing 9 different countries, the CONCERT-Japan Project has the specific objective to conduct a Pilot Joint Call for research proposals, thereby enabling network-building, mutual learning and information exchange on the topic of science and technology policy.
