1 - 2 October 2019 | Vilnius, Lithuania

Besides Japan and Germany, eight other European funding institutions will be participating. In the Scientific Committee Meeting (SC), a panel of scientific experts will evaluate the project outlines and make recommendations for funding. The subsequent Forum of Funders Meeting (FOF) will make a final selection and also discuss the topic of the next call in 2020.

Since the end of 2014, partners of the former EU projects CONCERT-Japan and JEUPISTE have come together to consolidate the cooperation within the framework of a so-called European Interest Group Japan (EIG CONCERT-Japan). It builds on the experiences, analyses and networks of these EU projects.

The EIG's most important task is the implementation of an annual multilateral joint call for proposals. Previous call topics included Photonics (2015), Food Crops and Biomass Production Technologies (2016), Efficient Energy Storage and Distribution (2017), and Functional Porous Materials (2018).
