In FY2024, JST has agreed with ANR to establish the following a CREST Research Area as common priority research areas and to invite Japanese-French joint research proposals:

[Nano-Material Semiconductors] Fundamental Technology for Semiconductor-Device Structures Using Nanomaterials

To apply, principal investigators (PIs) from the Japanese and French sides will write a common joint research proposal and submit it to JST and ANR in parallel.

The joint research proposal should be written in English using the Common Application Form.

Only applications submitted to both JST and ANR will be considered for evaluation

The deadline for proposal submissions to ANR is earlier than JST (CREST).

Although the above a CREST research area also invite regular proposals, PIs on the Japanese side may submit only one application with either a joint or regular proposal.

Please note that this call for proposals is announced on the premise of passage of the budget for fiscal year 2024.
