**description:** Expected Outcome:
• Cooperation with Japan in the field of innovative advanced materials is strengthened. 
 Scope:
Advanced materials are an important factor for the competitiveness of Japanese and European industries and are a crucial building block for strengthening resilience and open strategic autonomy, including through international collaboration. Against this background, the European Commission and the Japanese Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy, have in April 2024 announced the launch of the EU-Japan Enhanced Dialogue[1] on Advanced Materials. This builds on the success of EU-Japan collaboration in R&I in material sciences. It aims to create a platform for sharing information on policy developments and exploring the opportunities to pursue collaborative research in the areas of mutual interest.
As part of the EU-Japan Enhanced Dialogue on Advanced Materials and taking into account the Communication on Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership[2], the purpose of this action is to enable European researchers in innovative advanced materials from Member States and Associated Countries to make research visits to related Japanese institutions. Proposals should aim to provide travel grants strengthening collaboration in relevant ongoing research activities in Europe on the topic of advanced materials with applications to either mobility, energy, construction, electronics or medical devices. Proposals should ensure a wide geographical coverage of the grants in Member States and Associated Countries. They should aim at visits to research groups at Japanese organisations with complementary activities for up to one month duration. Such travel grants should build on collaborations with Japanese organisations that are willing to receive such a visits. Proposals can either support the initiation of new collaborations, or existing collaborations.
