1. Field of Cooperation

"Functional Applications in Physical Sciences"

In January 2009, when Mr. Koichi Iwase, then of Deputy Director-General for Science and Technology Policy, MEXT, visited Mr Lim Chuan Poh, Chairman of A*STAR, they agreed to promote more collaboration between the two countries in science and technology. After having several meetings between the two countries, JST and A*STAR concluded their MoU for collaboration on March 18th, 2009.
