What is EIG CONCERT-Japan?
CONCERT-Japan is an international joint initiative created to support, coordinate and enhance science, technology and innovation (STI) cooperation between European countries and Japan. It began as an ERA-NET project funded by the EU FP7 (2011-2014) and is now implemented independently of EU support as an activity of the European Interest Group.
