The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) has approved funding for three new international joint research projects under the framework of Networked Exchange, United Strength for Stronger Partnerships between Japan and ASEAN, “Japan-Philippines international joint research” in the field of Smart Agriculture.
NEXUS is a flexible and multi-layered cooperative framework, leveraged by the long history of science and technology 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 both sides.
In collaboration with the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), JST has conducted a call for proposals for international joint research projects.
We received 19 applications for this call, and after evaluation by experts from both countries and consultations between JST and DOST, we have decided to select three projects for funding. The research period is planned for three years (36 months).
