In FY2025, JST has agreed with ANR to establish the following two CREST Research Areas as common priority research areas and to invite Japanese-French joint research proposals:

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

[Prediction Mathematical Foundation] Creation of Mathematical Foundation for Prediction and Control

(Notice)

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.

Please note that deadline of ANR side differs from JST(CREST) (The period of ANR side Call will be planned from March to June.). Details of the Joint Call will be open on the ANR website as soon as it’s ready.

Although the above two CREST research areas 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 2025.
