The EU-Japan Centre has recently published two reports under the Minerva Policy Report project.

The Dual-Use report examines the evolving landscape of dual-use technology trade and investment between the EU and Japan, aiming to identify key areas where EU-Japan collaboration can be strengthened while also addressing structural barriers and external risks that could impede further cooperation.

The report on Advanced AI examines Japan’s evolving role in the development and governance of advanced AI systems across five interconnected dimensions: national policy, ethical direction, institutional coordination, collaboration with the European Union, and global positioning. Drawing on a multi-method research approach the report also surfaces underlying tensions within Japan’s AI evolution.
