  • To facilitate the exchange of expertise, technology, and best practices between Japanese and Filipino researchers to mutually enhance R&D capabilities; and
  • To provide opportunities for young researchers from Japan and the Philippines to meet, interact, and exchange ideas to build a robust S&T community in the region.

JST and DOST are supporting joint projects through strategic project support measures to promote cooperation between Japan and the Philippines. A maximum of five (5) research projects will be jointly funded in this Call.

On the Japan side, this funding measure is carried out under the program called NEXUS (Networked Exchange, United Strength for Stronger Partnerships between Japan and ASEAN) which aims to build a “Complementary and Sustainable Research Ecosystem”, facilitating mutual growth as co-creating partners by enhancing sustainable research cooperation grounded in longstanding initiatives such as international collaborative research and the exchange of research personnel.

On the other hand, the funding measure is carried out for the Philippines, under the DOST Grants-in-Aid (GIA) Program. The measure aims to promote joint research projects of mutual interest and thus contribute to intensified scientific and technological cooperation between each country. Teams from the Philippines are encouraged to include collaborators from other ASEAN Member States. Possible collaborators from institutions in other ASEAN countries should seek their own funding or provide in-kind contributions. The research outcomes from the bilateral initiative are expected to benefit and spread throughout the ASEAN region through opportunities such as dissemination activities.

Interested Filipino researchers may access the attached Call Guidelines for more information.

Please note of the submission deadline on 29 August 2025 thru the DPMIS portal.
