The e-ASIA Joint Research Program (e-ASIA JRP)
Project WorkshopDate and Time: Monday, October 12, 2015, 9:00 AM – 4:40 PM

Venue: Bootsakorn Room, 1st fl. at NECTEC, Thailand Science Park

About the e-ASIA Joint Research Program (e-ASIA JRP):The e-ASIA JRP (http://www.the-easia.org/jrp/) is a multilateral matching-fundprogram that seeks to realize innovative and robust economies and societies inEast Asia, by pursuing state-of-the-art technologies as well as solutions to common
issues, such as those concerning the environment, natural disaster prevention andinfectious diseases. In doing so, it also aims to strengthen R&D capabilities acrossthe East Asian region.
It consists of the funding agencies from the East Asia Summit (EAS) participating
countries (ASEAN 10 Member States+8). As of September 2015, there are 17
Member Organizations from 12 countries including NSTDA of Thailand.
In principle, each Member Organization funds the researchers in its own country
to conduct multilateral international joint research and promote researchersinteraction. The Program has been supported 11 projects so far.
The Program is now accepting proposals for collaborative research in the field of“Bioenergy”, “Intelligent Infrastructure for Transportation” and “Disaster RiskReduction and Management” (closed on October 13, 2015).

Objectives of the Workshop:- To disseminate the e-ASIA JRP- To share the achievements and lessons learned of a finished project-

To share progress report of the ongoing projects

Language & Fee
The workshop will be conducted in English
It is free of charge.

1Prospective Participants:
Anyone interested in the topics or the e-ASIA JRP is welcome to attend.
