The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), in collaboration with 12 European countries and their respective research funding agencies, has selected new projects for funding under the EIG CONCERT-Japan initiative of the Strategic International Collaborative Research Program (SICORP).
EIG CONCERT-Japan is an international joint initiative to support and enhance science, technology and innovation cooperation between Japan and European countries.
The 12th EIG CONCERT-Japan call for proposals was conducted from April 28 to July 22, 2025 with the topic “Oceans: Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.” A total of 19 proposals were submitted, covering a variety of topics such as blue carbon technologies, marine ecosystem conservation, and analysis of marine phenomena. Following an in-depth evaluation by a scientific committee and subsequent deliberations among the participating funding agencies, six projects were selected for funding. These projects will receive support for a period of three years. During this time, each project in Japan will be allocated up to 18.2 million JPY (including indirect costs).
