The 8th University of Cambridge and University of Tokyo Joint Symposium: Trusted Research and International Research Collaboration
Tuesday 26th September 2023, 9:00 to 12:10 GMT/ 17:00 to 20:10 JST
International research collaboration is key to tackling and navigating contemporary global challenges, such as climate change, global health and sustainable development. Emerging geopolitical tensions and uncertainties have posed challenges for researchers to engage in international collaboration safely and securely. There is an increasing need to minimise risks associated with operating within a global research and innovation ecosystem while maximising the opportunities. In this session, keynote speakers from the University of Cambridge, The University of Tokyo, UKRI and JSPS (the Director of JSPS London, Professor Naoto Kobayashi), will discuss trusted research, responsible research and innovation, ways of collaboration and opportunities for UK-Japan research collaboration. The aim is to raise awareness of trusted research and discuss how to minimise risks and maximise opportunities for international research collaboration amid emerging geopolitical tensions.
The seminar will be held both in-person and online. For more information and to register please visit:

FUNDING CALL: FY2024 JSPS and The Royal Society Joint Call for Bilateral Research Projects
This scheme is based on an agreement with The Royal Society. JSPS will cover the costs of the Japan team, and The Royal Society will cover the costs of the UK team.
- It is intended that JSPS and The Royal Society will fund the same joint research projects.
- The counterpart UK team leader is to submit an application to The Royal Society. Applications submitted by one side only will not be accepted. Japan and UK team leaders should therefore be sure that their counterpart submits a matching application.
*Please note under this scheme only joint research projects are supported and not Seminars.
