Tokushima University – Technion Collaboration (3rd round) - any scientific topic of mutual interest

Following a Memorandum of Understanding between the Nichia Corporation, Tokushima University and the Technion, Nichia Corporation intends to fund up to 5 joint research projects of researchers from TU and the Technion.

Research domains:  any scientific topic of mutual interest.

Funding: Projects are planned for two years with a total funding of $100K/year/project ($50K/year/PI).

Application procedure:

Stage 1 - An optional initial one-page pre-proposal + one-page CV will be submitted by email to TISI Office - tisi_office@tokushima-u.ac.jp or to Technion Research Authority - ra-tec@trdf.technion.ac.il  by May 31.

This stage is optional and meant to help Technion PIs in finding a suitable partner at Tokushima University and vice-versa, therefore, there is no requirement for a partner from the other institution.  The pre-proposals will serve only to identify possible TU/Technion collaborators (but not for any kind of pre-selection). 

The pre-proposals submitted at each university will be disclosed to the researchers from the other university to allow a matching process.

Both universities' PIs will actively contact each other based on their Keywords, Research Fields, and Topics to form international research groups.

Stage 2 - Successfully matched PIs jointly prepare a collaborative research proposal and submit it from Tokushima University's PI to TISI office - tisi_office@tokushima-u.ac.jp. by August 30.               

One PI can apply with two collaborative proposals.

The Project Guidance Team will notify the results in November 2024.
