  • This research fund can be used for expenses relating to (a) research meetings by project researchers; (b) joint research activities; (c) dispatch and invitation of researchers; etc.

(2) Workshops to promote international research collaboration (sponsored by JST)

  • These workshops consist mainly of lectures by researchers from Japan and counterpart countries.
  • The principal objective is to facilitate exchange activities among participating researchers.

(3)Other

  • A financial support is provided as necessary for holding training courses, etc.

The program is implemented by organically combining the above-mentioned assistance according to the needs of counterpart countries and cooperative fields. The basis of the program is that JST assists researchers on Japanese side and funding agencies in counterpart countries assist researchers in their countries.
