Outline

JHPCN calls for joint research projects for fiscal year 2025. The joint research has to have two or more research members and be managed by a researcher of organizations in Japan. You have to use at least one of the computer resources of the member institutions or have a researcher of the member institutions in the research group. Projects are welcome from any research area.

The researchers of accepted projects will be able to use the computer resources of the member institutions and the “mdx” for free in the scope of the rule. (See Appendixes for the details of available resources) The “mdx” is an information infrastructure created mainly to accumulate and utilize knowledge related to data science, which is co-managed by nine universities and 2 research institutions, within which the member institutions are included. There are cases where the expenses for publishing research results are supported, for example, the travel expenses to join conferences in abroad, the expenses to publish books on research results and to hold symposiums related to the research. Accepted research projects will also be a chance to make networks or expand your research/invention by joining or doing presentations in JHPCN symposiums.

Since the member institutions have enrolled leading researchers, acceleration of joint research projects is possible through collaboration with these researchers. You can get introductions to the researchers of the member institutions, if you hope to, please contact the JHPCN office in advance. If you have in mind a researcher with whom you want to conduct joint research, you can ask the member institution of the researcher in question.

These joint research projects for the fiscal year 2025 will be implemented from April 2025 to March 2026. The web application deadline is 5 PM (JST), 6 January, 2025. We expect and appreciate as many applications as possible.

Difference from last call

  • The scale of the International Joint Research Project was expanded.
    The number of projects which will be accepted as the International Joint Research Project has been increased. Projects with researchers of NHR in Germany as Deputy Representatives are encouraged. Refer to section 4 for more details.
  • The ”private wallet” of mdx was abolished.
    The applicants were required to choose one of the budget types, the shared or private, if they would use mdx in the previous proposals. From this year there is only the shared wallet for mdx.
  • The outline of proposed projects is required to be written in application form 2.
    In the previous calls, the outline of proposed projects was to be written after they were accepted, but from this year it is required to be written in application form 2. The amount of the outline has to be about 200 letters in Japanese language or 100 words in English language. Refer to application form 2 for more details.
  • Appendix 2 was abolished.
    Since the big-data/large-capacity network project is no longer available, Appendix 2, which describes the detail of the project related resources was abolished.
