1) Field of Cooperation - "Marine Science"
On the basis of "the 13th Japan-Australia joint commission on science and technology cooperation" held in October 2008, MEXT set "Marine Science" as the area to cooperate with Australia. In response, JST and DIISR agreed to implement the Strategic International Research Cooperative Program in the area of Marine Science.
