The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) has approved funding for five new research projects jointly supported by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) of the Netherlands and the ASPIRE Japan-Netherlands Joint Call in the field of semiconductor and quantum.
The ASPIRE program aims to maintain and improve Japan's scientific and technological capabilities by connecting top researchers in Japan with those in advanced STI countries and regions through international joint research and talent circulation. The program focuses on developing competitive alternative technologies to conventional information processing hardware, fostering the next generation of research leaders, and supporting their international mobility.
This partnership program aims to support internationally competitive collaborative research projects between Japan and the Netherlands, building leading international researcher networks, and nurturing early-career researchers to invigorate the semiconductor and quantum sector in both countries.
JST and NWO received a total of 18 proposals for this call, and five projects were selected for funding after assessment by a panel of experts in Japan and the Netherlands and a joint funding meeting.
The research period will be five years at maximum.
