EPSRC are seeking proposals from those applicants successful at the Expression of Interest call, to provide UK match funding for participation in the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Core-to-Core programme.
The JSPS Core-to-Core programme is designed to create world-class research hubs in fields considered to be cutting-edge and internationally important in Japan. Hubs are built and operated through sustainable collaborative relations established among research/education institutions in Japan and around the world. The program does not set its own priority research areas.
Funds from JSPS for research groups in Japan are available for up to five years for multilateral research projects, seminars and research exchanges and collaborations. Hub collaborations are expected to continue after funding has ended.
This year, the EPSRC is running a call for applications in the area of Advanced Materials independently from JSPS, as a matching fund for UK researchers to collaborate with Japanese researchers supported under the JSPS Core-to-Core programme. Applications will be invited from only those researchers who are successful at the expression of interest stage.
