EIG CONCERT-Japan joint call for research proposals

EIG logo

The EIG CONCERT-Japan will launch its 10th joint call for research proposals this spring. 
This year’s theme is Sustainable cities, and the call’s subject will be “Solutions for Carbon-Neutral Cities”. 

What is the aim of the call?
This call for proposals invites Japan and Europe-based researchers to develop new solutions to improve the sustainability of urban environments and focuses on three key research themes: 

  • sustainable smart urban mobility,
  • improving water, soil and air quality in carbon-neutral cities
  • efficient waste management.

EIG CONCERT-Japan welcomes research proposals taking cross-sectoral approaches, which bring natural and social sciences together. Proposals that involve various non-academic participants, such as practitioners, industry and other individuals and groups of the general public are also encouraged. 

What is EIG CONCERT-Japan?
CONCERT-Japan is an international joint initiative created to support, coordinate and enhance science, technology and innovation (STI) cooperation between European countries and Japan. It began as an ERA-NET project funded by the EU FP7 (2011-2014) and is now implemented independently of EU support as an activity of the European Interest Group.
