The fifth joint call for proposals in the field of “Environmental Science” was held by JST, the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa, and organizations from member countries of the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI).
A total of 41 proposals were submitted to the joint call. JST and the other participating funding agencies jointly made the decision to adopt seven projects based on joint panel reviews and evaluations by experts from the participating countries.

“Empowering Science, Inspiring Futures”
Our world faces unprecedented global challenges - such as climate change, energy crises, and emerging infectious diseases - that demand innovative solutions. JST will rise to these challenges through “Science and Technology,” as a national research and development agency that plays a central role in implementing Japan’s science, technology, and innovation policy. We support fundamental research and startups to create new value, develop R&D strategies, foster the next generation of talent, disseminate vital information, and manage the Japan University Fund. Like a compass guiding ships through turbulent waters, JST will chart the way towards a vibrant and secure future by empowering science through a multifaceted approach.
