Working collaboratively, the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) and the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) aim to promote and strengthen collaboration between researchers from Japan and The Philippines. Under this framework, JST and DOST launch this Call for Proposals for research, which are to be jointly developed and implemented by researchers from both countries. The program aims to achieve the following objectives:
- To contribute to scientific advancement by conducting bilateral research (including conferences/seminars) in the identified priority research fields;
- To facilitate the exchange of expertise, technology, and best practices between Japanese and Filipino researchers to mutually enhance R&D capabilities; and
- To provide opportunities for young researchers from Japan and the Philippines to meet, interact, and exchange ideas to build a robust S&T community in the region.
JST and DOST are supporting joint projects through strategic project support measures to promote cooperation between Japan and the Philippines. A maximum of five (5) research projects will be jointly funded in this Call. On the Japan side, this funding measure is carried out under the international collaboration program which aims to build a “Complementary and Sustainable Research Ecosystem”, facilitating mutual growth as co-creating partners by enhancing sustainable research cooperation grounded in longstanding initiatives such as international collaborative research and the exchange of research personnel. On the other hand, the funding measure is carried out for the Philippines, under the DOST Grants-in-Aid Program. The measure aims to promote joint research projects of mutual interest and thus contribute to intensified scientific and technological cooperation between each country.
