Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to our first "Coffee Talk" event tomorrow, 9 March (and hope this announcement still reaches you in time!).

While we approach the new STI Basic Plan with an eye to Japanese-German research cooperations, the discussion of different aspects of the plan might be of general interest.

DWIH Coffee Talk #1 on March 9, 2021 from 5 pm JST / 9 am CET.

"Japan's new Science, Technology, and Innovation Basic Plan - Opportunities for German Research"

Bringing you the latest in research and innovation from Germany and Japan!

The DWIH Tokyo's new webtalk series provides up-to-date information on research and innovation trends in Germany and Japan. Our first Coffee Talk is dedicated to the Japanese government's new Basic Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation, which is scheduled to take effect in April 2021. Moderator Axel Karpenstein (Program Manager, DWIH Tokyo) is in conversation with Fumikazu Sato (Councillor for Innovation Promotion, Deputy Director General for Science, Technology and Innovation Cabinet Office, Government of Japan) and Dr. Lothar Mennicken (Counsellor for Science and Technology, Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Tokyo). Together they explore the goals of the new Basic Plan, the course it sets for the Japanese research landscape, and the potential it holds for joint German-Japanese research projects.
