¥È¥Ô¥Ã¥¯¥¹ Topics
To encourage the further development of existing and new collaborations based on innovative projects and new ideas among member universities, 20 collaborative projects were selected across the topics of Ageing, AI, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Materials Science, and Sustainability. This year is the second term of the seed funding, and it has been one of the key activities of MIRAI 2.0, a consortium of 20 Swedish and Japanese universities.
Successful applicants will start further collaboration to promote joint research and programs, write co-authored papers, secure external funding, and foster doctoral students and postdocs, depending on the theme and purpose of each project.
