Joint Research Project by Prof. Yutaka Amao Selected for KAKENHI Fund for Promotion of Joint International Research (Fostering Joint International Research (B))

Conducting International Joint Research on Artificial Photosynthesis! Aiming for Further Breakthroughs in Research

The research project by Yutaka Amao (Professor and Director, Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, Osaka City University) has been selected for the Fund for the Promotion of Joint International Research (Fostering Joint International Research (B)) under the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.

The Fund for the Promotion of Joint International Research (Fostering Joint International Research (B)) aims to significantly develop original and pioneering research by conducting international joint research necessary for the advancement of academic research. It seeks to contribute to building and further strengthening the foundations of international joint research by conducting collaborative projects overseas.

Professor Amao will work on the research project titled "International Joint Research on the Creation of Photocatalyst-Biocatalyst Composite Materials for Carbon Dioxide Utilization" with Professor Chia-Wen (Kevin) Wu of National Taiwan University.

From April of this year, the Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis began activities aimed at becoming an international joint research hub. With this selection, further international exchange and the continued advancement of research at the Research Center for Artificial Photosynthesis are highly expected.
