NRF/JSPS Cooperative Research Joint Science and Technology Programme 2010 for South Africans and Japanese.
On the 28 August 2003, South Africa signed an agreement on cooperation in science and technology with Japan, followed two years later by a Memorandum of Understanding between the National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) aimed at its implementation as part of an annual cycle of joint research funding between the two countries. Following five successful joint calls for proposals, from 2005 to 2009, the NRF is pleased to announce the sixth such call for 2010, and herewith invite all interested parties to submit their applications, using the form accompanying this document by a date no later than that indicated. Only 4 projects will be funded in 2010.
In this year, Joint research project proposals shall be submitted to the relevant authorities in both countries for evaluation (the JSPS in Japan and the National Research Foundation in South Africa).
SA applications should be submitted electronically to seymour@nrf.ac.za no later than 1 October 2010. All Japanese applications must be submitted by 13 September 2010 to the JSPS.
