1) Field of Cooperation -"Bioscience and Biotechnology"
Based on the agreement concluded in February 2009 between the Japanese and New Zealand governments on cooperation in science and technology, JST and the FRST have decided to implement the "Strategic International Research Cooperative Program" (SICP). After consultations between MEXT, JST and FRST, "Bioscience and Biotechnology" has been selected as the field of research to support.
