17/11/2009 - Tokyo, Japan
Towards EU-Japan Aerospace Cooperation in Research & Technology (Workshop)
On 17 November 2009 the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, together with the EU Delegation, the section of S&T with the support of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and DG RTD + Delegation of the Commission to Japan, as well as of the European Business Council in Japan (EBC), the Aerospace & Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) and the Society of Japanese Aerospace Companies (SJAC), organised a workshop on “Toward EU-Japan Aerospace Cooperation in Research and Technologyâ€, with speakers from Brussels, DG RTD (Liam Breslin, Head of Aeronautics Unit), the European Commission Delegation to Japan (Barbara Rhode, S&T Counsellor), METI, the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), ASD, SJAC and the R&D Institute of Metals and Composites for Future Industries (RIMCOF).
In a context where the EU-Japan Science & Research Cooperation Agreement (signed on 30 November 2009) underlines the political support of European and Japanese authorities to deeper R&D cooperation between the EU and Japan, the main objective of this seminar was to hear from experts from both sides how to use existing structures to promote successful joint EU-Japan research projects in the aeronautics sector. At policy level, presentations of the EU Framework Programme and of the Japanese aerospace industrial policy showed how these programmes are structured. At private sector level, presentations of European industry’s experience of the Framework Programme and of various existing cooperation between Japanese and European industries made clear that the potential for increased collaboration is strong and not yet exploited to its full extent.
The audience gathered about 65 participants from the major EU and Japanese aeronautics companies. They debated with the speakers on how to better promote R&D cooperation in the aerospace sector between Japan and Europe. This was considered as a useful first step for exploring the possibility of having joint EU-Japan research projects supported by FP7.
