Your Guide to Research Funding Opportunities in the EU and Japan

This funding guide responds to requests from the Japanese research community and brings together, in a single document, information on funding opportunities available in both the EU and Japan.

It is structured around key stages and interests of researchers — from doctoral training and postdoctoral research, to working as an independent researcher, engaging in international mobility and collaborative or consortium-based projects, and even turning research results into businesses or innovative products. For each area of interest, it explains the relevant funding opportunities on both the EU and Japanese sides.

The EU and Japan are global leaders in research and innovation, and the Delegation of the European Union to Japan hopes that this guide will contribute to deepening research collaboration between these two research powerhouses.
