9 International Collaboration through Parallel Funding パラレルファンディングとしての 国 際 協 力 の 取 り 組 み NEDO has been exploring international R&D collaboration through reciprocal, symmetrical funding by NEDO and overseas counterparts which can be carried out through existing NEDO support schemes applied to domestic research. Collaborative Action Partners in overseas public funding organizations NEDO Support Entrustment or subsidy through existing NEDO schemes NEDO 既 存 の 支 援 スキームの 活 用 Teams Overseas Teams in Japan Collaborative Work R&D, road mapping, evaluation, etc.

10 Collaboration with New Mexico, USA 米 国 ニューメキシコ 州 との 協 力 活 動 In order to realize a smart grid, it is necessary to demonstrate technologies and systems on a real scale based on the know-how and experience of NEDO. It is also necessary to consider the current paradigm shift in energy systems as it will create a greater need for larger-scale introduction of renewable energy. This will in turn facilitate the promotion of Japanese technologies to potential partners abroad. Given the above, Japan (METI/NEDO) and the State of New Mexico, LANL, SNL, etc. have undertaken a joint project to conduct demonstration research in New Mexico. NEDO Microgrid at Los Alamos NEDO Microgrid at Albuquerque 10

11 Collaboration with Tekes, Finland フィンランドTekesとの 協 力 活 動 NEDO and Tekes* of Finland concluded an information exchange agreement in the areas of energy efficiency technology and renewable energy in 1996 and have since promoted information exchange activities in the two areas. In addition to information exchange activities, a new agreement was signed in June 2009 which enables cooperation in various areas such as joint demonstration projects, looking toward joint activities at a stage close to the practical application of technology. The new agreement also enables an additional cooperation area of industrial technology development in order to accelerate collaboration. *Tekes the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes is the main public funding organisation for research, development and innovation in Finland. 11

19 Possible Implementing Tools for Collaboration with Europe EUとの 協 力 のための 実 施 可 能 性 ツールについて NEDO would like to continue exploring further possibilities of mutual cooperation with Europe. The major implementing tools for such collaborative activities include the following: 1. Information Exchange( 情 報 交 換 ) Information exchange through h workshops among researchers working in the same fields can be a good accelerator for cooperation. 2. Exchange of Researchers( 研 究 者 交 流 ) Closer and more detailed cooperation can be expected through the exchange of researchers, which can contribute to acceleration of research on both sides. 3. Round Robin(ラウンドロビン) This would be an effective method of accelerating research, particularly for developing evaluation technologies, and also establishing international standards in various fields. 4. Coordinated Calls( 共 同 公 募 ) Coordinated calls are one of the most important and effective tools for EU-Japan collaboration aiming to achieve the same goal in research with a borderless concentrated force of the two partners. 5. Others, if any? 19
