The Japan Science and Technology Agency (HASHIMOTO Kazuhito, President) has approved funding for five new international joint research projects under the framework of Networked Exchange, United Strength for Stronger Partnerships between Japan and ASEAN (NEXUS), “Japan-Philippines international joint research” in the field of Water Security.
NEXUS is a flexible and multi-layered cooperative framework, leveraged by the long history of science and technology cooperation between both sides with the opportunity of the “50th anniversary of friendship and cooperation between Japan and ASEAN.” It is aimed to further strengthen the cooperative research relationship between Japan and ASEAN as partners in co-creating innovations in science and technology.
One of the initiatives, “International Joint Research,” NEXUS supports international joint research in common priority challenges between Japan and ASEAN.
In collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), JST has conducted a call for proposals for international joint research projects.
We received fourteen applications for this call, and after evaluation by experts from both countries and consultations between JST and DOST, we have decided to select five projects for funding. The research period is planned for three years (36 months).
