The CONCERT-Japan project is an international ERA-NET initiative under the EU FP7, with the objective of coordinating and enhancing the science, technology and innovation (STI) cooperation between the European countries and Japan.
The CONCERT-Japan Pilot Joint Call on Research and Innovation is planned to be launched in September 2012. The joint call will cover the two themes:
- Efficient Energy Storage and Distribution
- Resilience against Disasters
In the frame of the CONCERT-Japan Pilot Joint Call on Research and Innovation, research projects with an innovative dimension will be funded for a period of 2 years in the above mentioned themes. The research projects are expected to have mobility and networking dimensions apart from the core research component.
Each project consortium applying for this call should consist of at least 3 partners, 1 from Japan and 2 from two different European countries participating in the call.
The call will be funded by the budget allocated by each participating national/regional funding organization. Therefore, each participating funding organization reserves the right to apply its national/regional funding regulations. For more information on the call, please refer to CONCERT-Japan website.
