…towards a research and innovation partnership

Japan –EU Summit 2013 19 November

Summit leaders underlined the strategic importance of EU-Japan cooperation in science and technology

in contributing to growth and competitiveness and in addressing shared societal challenges.

They welcomed the significant progress achieved together in the twoyears since the entry into force of the Agreement between theGovernment of Japan and the European Community on Science andTechnology, in key areas of mutual interest such as critical rawmaterials, aeronautics and information and communicationstechnology, and the successful start of the first joint researchprojects. They called for further efforts to unlock the potential ofJapan-EU science and technology cooperation and to promotegreater collaboration as partners for research and innovation.To this end, officials would meet to explore a way forward by thenext Summit. They welcomed the nomination of a National ContactPoint (NCP) for the EU Framework Programme in Japan, as animportant step to facilitate the participation of Japanese entities tothe EU’s Horizon 2020 programme, and expressed their desire toopen up new horizons for Japan-EU science and technologycollaboration.

Investment in R&D is part of the solution to exit from the economic crises

The EU Framework Programme – Horizon2020

- - The most open international research programme

- - Philosophy of “cooperation and competition”

- - in the pre-competative phase of research

- - It has been very successful to unite Europe =>ERA

- - at least 3 partners from 3 European countries

- - It is complemented by infrastructure investments

- - It combines industry and science and stakeholders

- - It has two important human resources instruments

- - Return fellowship for low-income Countries

- - Externally it is also a development aid tool

- …but it will normally only fund partners from lowincome countries and not Japanese partners

Coordinated Asia-European long-term observing system of qinghai tibet plateau hydro-meteorological processes and the asian-monsoon system with ground satellite image data and numerical simulations

Objective

� Human life and the entire ecosystem of South East Asia depend upon the monsoon climate and its predictability. More than 40% of the earth's population lives in this region. Droughts and floods associated with the variability of rainfall frequently cause serious damage to ecosystems in these regions and, more importantly, injury and loss of human life.

The headwater areas of seven major rivers in SE Asia, i.e. Yellow River, Yangtze, Mekong, Salween, Irrawaddy, Brahmaputra and Ganges, are located in the Tibetan Plateau. Estimates of the Plateau water balance rely on sparse and scarce observations that cannot provide the required accuracy, spatial density and temporal frequency. Fully integrated use of satellite and ground observations is necessary to support water resources management in SE Asia and to clarify the roles of the interactions between the land surface and the atmosphere over the Tibetan Plateau in the Asian monsoon system.

GREENGlobal Re-ordering: Evolution through European Networks

From 2011-03-01 to 2015-02-28 | Total cost: EUR 10 158 762 EU contribution: EUR 7 944 718

ObjectiveGREEN will study the current and future role of the EU in an emerging multi-polar world through a programme of stock-taking, multi-disciplinary research and complementary activities. It aims at an understanding of the prospective directions of the emerging global governance structures and Europe' s place in them.Analysis will focus on the extant actors from the 20th century, the 21st century rising powers, the increasingly influential non-state actors (from civil and non-civil society) and the new transnational regulatory networks of public and private policy makers and regional agencies. While multi-polarity, with Europe as a pole, is a possibility, alternative scenarios are also plausible. A shift from a trans-Atlantic to trans-Pacific locus of power, or the depolarization and fragmentation of authority are such alternatives; both could marginalize Europe.

But these are questions to be researched; not assertions to be made.

The 5 components:

i) conceptual analyses of an emerging multi-polar world and the theory and practice of international organisation and networks in that world;

ii) evolving EU policy and practice;

iii) the effects of regional leadership from Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas;

iv) projects on the EU and multi-polarity within the fields of human rights and security, energy, resources and environment, trade and finance;

v) a foresight study detailing scenarios for EU policy towards the emerging world order. The research will be theoretical, policy-oriented and with an interactive dissemination strategy to assure feedback from its target-publics.

The work will be undertaken by a manageable consortium of partners (from Belgium, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Hungary, Spain, Italy and Norway with a strong track-record of collaboration on these issues) accompanied by leading institutes from the USA, Argentina, Singapore, China, Japan, Australia and South Africa to act as hub-and-spokes for their regions.

EU- Japan Co- funded calls for proposals


NGCPVA new generation of concentrator photovoltaic cells, modules and systems

The Project, through a collaborative research between seven European and nine Japanese leading research centres in the field of concentration photovoltaic (CPV), pursues the improvement of present concentrator cell, module and system efficiency. Particular effort will be devoted to the development of multi junction solar cells (by researching on metamorphic, lattice match, inverted and bifacial growth, use of silicon substrates and incorporation of quantum nanostructures) with the objective of approaching the 50 % efficiency goal at cell level and 35% at module level (by incorporating advanced optics as for example Fresnel-Kohler concentrators). As a means to speed up the progress, the Project will also expand the use of characterization techniques suitable for CPV materials, cells, trackers, modules and systems by developing new ones, incorporating advanced semiconductor techniques to the field of photovoltaic (such as three dimensional real-time reciprocal space mapping, 3D-RTSM, piezoelectric photo-thermal and optical time resolved techniques) and by deploying a round robin scheme that allows the qualification and standardization of the results derived from the measurements.

SHEFAESurface Heat Exchangers for Aero-Engines

Total cost: EUR 2 086 214 EU contribution: EUR 1 144 088From 2013-02-01 to 2016-01-31

Co-funded by METI and FP7

Objective

� The Project aim is to develop and demonstrate an advanced structural surface cooler mounted in an appropriate core fairing composite structure. Currently surface coolers are an integral feature of advanced turbofan engine designs. They contribute to achieving the best engine performance by maintaining oil and fuel temperatures within defined limits and by virtue of their mounting on the inside of the fancase they obviate the need for additional ducting of air and a control valve to switch the air on/off. The lack of ducting and control valve leads to an overall cost and weight reduction. Oil and/or fuel is cooled by the passage of cool engine bypass air flow over the air washed surface of the heat exchanger.

• European companies in Japan

• Japanese Companies in Europe

European Companies in Japan

• There are an estimated 2000 European companies in Japan.

• It is not widely known that European companies have the overall highest R&D expenditure in Japan.

• Approximately 300 companies (15%) conduct R&D activities in Japan responsible for 90% of all foreign R&D expenditures –

• US companies spend 7% and 3% the rest of the world. • Why do European companies run R&D facilities in Japan:• They say it is

• the solidity of the science sector, • the sense of global innovation trends for some sectors, and • the possibility to go global together with JP partners

Reciprocity

• European foreign R&D expenditures in Japan are• 70% in 'transport equipment', • 18% 'pharmaceuticals' and • 3.7% 'ICT‚

• The JP subsidy program on the 'Asian Site Location Japan' resulted in 19 projects since2009

• METI estimate European companiesreceived around JPY 1.4bn (EUR 12 m).


Ideal partners ?


The question is whether it is possible to organise"matching funds" for Horizon2020

to support Japanese companies and researchers

To enable them to participate in more often

..or suggest any other mechanism that would make it easier to collaborate

for the benefit of both
