Japanese researchers to join ERC teams in Europe
06 juli 2015
A new agreement was concluded on 29 May 2015 to encourage young top scientists in Japan to join European Research Council (ERC) research teams in Europe.
The agreement was signed in Tokyo, just before the start of the 23rd EU-Japan Summit. The President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, and the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, endorsed a joint vision for their strategic
partnership on research and innovation.
The ERC-JSPS initiative is open to recipients of the JSPS's Research Fellowships for Young Scientists, who can come to Europe for scientific visits, temporarily becoming part of teams led by ERC grant holders.
