JST Press Release#1476:JST is to fund six research projects for the e-ASIA Joint Research Program in the fields of “Advanced Interdisciplinary Research towards Innovation (Water Resource Management)” and “Environment (Climate Change Impact on Natural and Human Systems)”

The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) decided to start new projects within the framework of the e-ASIA Joint Research Program.

JST and 9 funding agencies from 7 countries jointly opened the call for research projects in the fields of “Advanced Interdisciplinary Research towards Innovation (Water Resource Management)” and “Environment (Climate Change Impact on Natural and Human Systems)”.

A total of 48 proposals, 26 in the field of “Advanced Interdisciplinary Research towards Innovation (Water Resource Management)” and 22 in the field of “Environment (Climate Change Impact on Natural and Human Systems)” were submitted in response to the joint call. Based on an expert evaluation conducted in each country, JST and the other funding agencies jointly decided to adopt six projects, three in the field of “Advanced Interdisciplinary Research towards Innovation (Water Resource Management)” and three in the field of “Environment (Climate Change Impact on Natural and Human Systems)”.

The research period is scheduled to be three years.

e-ASIA Joint Research Program (e-ASIA JRP)

Through the acceleration of science and technology research exchange and collaboration in the East Asian region, the e-ASIA Joint Research Program (e-ASIA JRP) aims to strengthen research and development capabilities towards resolution of shared challenges across the region, including those associated with materials, alternative energy, agriculture, health research, disaster risk reduction and management, advanced interdisciplinary research towards innovation, and environment.
As part of that objective, e-ASIA JRP is intended to support collaborative research implemented among three or more of its member countries. Through the implementation of joint research among participating countries in agreed fields of research, it is the goal of the e-ASIA JRP to contribute to economic and human resource development, as well as the resolution of various challenges in the region.
