as most important as most important

� It does not only save funds when moving on to a new generation of technologies

� Research collaboration is pooling endeavours in precompetitive research and accelerates the creation of needed technologies.

� International research projects influence global standardisation,

� can prepare industrial alliances and

� make solutions more robust through the mutual understanding of the industrial cultures.

EUEU--JapanJapanScience &Technology AgreementScience &Technology Agreement

�Entered into force on 29 March 2011

�With the S&T Agreement EU and Japan express their wish to collaborate more effectively in the field of Science and Technology

� First bilateral meeting held in Tokyo in June 16 2011

� The second will be in Brussels in November 2012

With the S&T AgreementWith the S&T AgreementNew strategic approachNew strategic approach

1. Negotiating co-funding for subjects of common interest

2. Joint calls for proposals

3. Implementation projects

4. A roadmap

5. Each year a joint committee

6. Analysing what has been achieved

How to collaborate ?

� As the European Union (EU) is consisting of 27 countries

� All 27 countries have their own science landscape –as DE or FR or UK, or IT is one of the EU’s MS

� We have developed a very successful international tool to collaborate in S&T

� With the Research Framework Programme we connect our best forces through the collaboration i n joint projects

For Japanese participantFor Japanese participantcoco --funding is neededfunding is needed

� Japan as an industrialised country need to come into the projects with co- fundung

� At present there are two possibilities of cooperation:

1. If an institution has its own funds - it can coopera te

2. If a joint call has been negotiated or JST or JSPS or a science funding agency will co-fund

l It means both sides contribute with their own funds
