2. My personal links to Japan • Juergen Brugger • Professor in Microengineering and Materials Science • Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) • PhD in Physics (Scanning probe technology) University of Neuchatel/Switzerland • 1 year stay at Hitachi Central Research Laboratory in Tokyo 1994 • Technology transfer from IBM to Seiko Instruments • Long lasting contacts and collaboration with institutions in Japan: • IIS U-Tokyo (Profs. Fujita, Kawakatsu, Fuji, Kim, Takeuchi, …) • U-Waseda (Prof. Shoji) • Kyoto University, Ritsumaikan … • Regular hosting of Japanese faculty and researchers at EPFL • Frequent visits to Japan for workshops, etc. Sujet Rubrique

3. This talk • LIMMS: a French research unit (UMI) from CNRS at U-Tokyo • Long-lasting contacts between Switzerland (in particular EPFL) and Japanese institutions • NAMIS: a network of academic and R&D institutions in the field of micro and nanotechnology • EUJO-LIMMS: a FP7 funded project with U-Tokyo as partner

8. The NAMIS research network http://namis.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp • NAMIS: an international network on Nano and Micro Systems • To stimulate scientific exchanges workshops, seminars, laboratory visits and working groups • To promote the mobility inside the network for PhD students, post-docs, visiting researchers • To allow exchanges of know-how and resources • To settle joint projects & give access to multilateral national funding

11. Call for FP7 : INCOLAB • Promote international collaboration with third countries (Brazil, China, India, Japan, Russia, USA) • 1 project per country • To open an international laboratory • 2M € for 4 years project • Project based on already established structure of the EC members

12. Objectives of the call • Open international laboratory to at least 3 European partners • Increase the scientific cooperation between EU and the third country by: • Hosting researchers in on-going activities • Preparation and execution of new joint project (by seminar, workshop ...) • Study of institutional opening of international laboratory to EU partners

13. The EUJO-LIMMS proposal • Hosting European researchers by opening LIMMS to the European members of NAMIS network • EPFL, Switzerland • IMTEK, Freiburg, Germany • VTT, Finland • Enhancement of hosting capacity in LIMMS (@IIS U-Tokyo) • Administrative and Engineer support staff • Perform projects with 3 partners • Dissemination and Open call to 4th partner • Study of agreements to establish a Japan-Europe joint laboratory

14. The EUJO-LIMMS proposal • Uploaded on March 15, 2011 • 31 proposals for the 6 regions • 5 proposals for Japan • Evaluation: June 7, 2011 : 4.5 /5 on the 3 criteria • EUJO-LIMMS is ranked 1st / 5 for Japan and 2nd / 31 for overall • Negotiation phase (June 7 - June 28) • Accepted and Started on Dec.1st, 2011 • EUJO-LIMMS : the first International EU laboratory in Japan.

15. 4 Years program 2 M€ • Hosting researchers (PhD, PD, faculty) • Research projects in IIS-UT • Dissemination + call 4th partner • Case study of legal agreement The EUJO-LIMMS project
