Japan－Vietnam Joint Call for Proposals
The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Vietnam Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), in order to promote international research interaction and exchange among researchers, jointly call proposals for Japan‒Vietnam collaborative research projects in the field of “Semiconductor.” The joint research also includes activities related to researchers' capacity building with support from JST. The joint call is opened for teams with principal investigators (PIs) from Japan and Vietnam.
Please refer to the MOST webpage and contact to the person in charge of MOST (the contact information is described on the guidelines) for the Vietnam-side applications.

How to Apply
Please complete the joint application forms above and submit them via e-Rad (The Cross-ministerial R&D Management System). This system is the designated platform for Japan-side PIs to submit their forms.
- Both applicants, Japan-side and Vietnam-side PIs, must prepare an identical proposal, which they must then submit to JST from the Japan-side PI and to MOST from the Vietnam-side PI, respectively.
- The Japan-side PI must also submit another Japanese application form (appendix for Japan-side PIs).
- Both PIs must ensure no differences in the content of the proposals submitted to JST and MOST. Following the joint application forms above and submitting all required documents to both JST and MOST by the deadline are crucial, as failure to do so will result in the proposal being rejected. Please also be aware of both countries' "Research Eligibility" section in the guidelines.
Notifications
- The "Confirmation Form (確認書 in the Japanese application form (appendix for Japan-side PIs))" must be stamped by the head of the institution. Please note that in the case of a university/college, it is the president, not the dean. There is no need to mail the original. If you omit the official seal, please follow the prescribed procedure at your institution before submitting the form.
- Japan-side PIs must have completed a research ethics training program at their institution and then declare the completion of the program to JST by the deadline of the call for proposals. Unless applicants complete a research ethics training program, their application will be deemed ineligible for funding. For details, please refer to the application guidelines (appendix for Japan-side PIs, 公募要領 別紙).
