Sustainable Hydrogen Technology as Affordable and Clean Energy

The Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) is accepting proposals for collaborative research projects under the framework of EIG CONCERT-Japan with 13 funding partners participating from 12 European countries under the theme of Sustainable Hydrogen Technology as Affordable and Clean Energy.

The European Interest Group (EIG) CONCERT-Japan is an international joint initiative to support and enhance science, technology and innovation (STI) cooperation between European countries and Japan.

The call for proposals invites Japan and Europe-based researchers to develop more efficient, reliable, flexible and clean hydrogen-based technologies. We welcome 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.

Projects selected for funding in this call will each receive support for a period of three years and totaling no more than approximately 18,000,000 JPY of which 30% represents indirect costs. It is expected that six projects will be funded in this EIG CONCERT-Japan Joint Call.
