Biomaterials for medical applications and advanced materials for printed functionality (Academy of Finland, Tekes and Japan Science and Technology Agency)

The Academy of Finland, Tekes and the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) launched a Finnish-Japanese joint call. The aim was to promote Finnish-Japanese research in the field of biomaterials for medical applications and advanced materials for printed functionality. Another aim is to support long-term systematic Finnish-Japanese research collaboration of a high standard with a view to promoting the creation and strengthening of research collaboration networks between Finland and Japan.

A joint call in the thematic area of functional materials is arranged in three successive years, and the theme is defined in a different way each year. This is the third call and a description of its themes is available in Appendix 4 of this call for applications.

The call was open in October 2010.
