in Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries

Please take minutes to complete the form below. Thank you for your cooperation.

Purpose of this survey

The purpose of this survey is to collect data about international cooperation needs in agricultural research fields from your country. Data collected from this survey will be analyzed together with cooperation resource data, collected in Japan. The results of analysis will be stored in a database and will be used to promote more effective international cooperation in agricultural research fields of Japan to developing countries. Please take minutes to complete the form below. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation. For details of the project deriving this survey from, please refer to the following paragraph.

Aim of the project

The grand aim of the present project is to develop and maintain a web database, which acts as a network of researchers/specialists in Japan and developing countries. International cooperation needs in foreign countries and resources in Japan will be matched and analyzed, to provide sufficient information for more effective and strategic international cooperation by Japan. We will be conducting periodical surveys in the future to meet the long-term goal of the project; to maintain an interactive database for researchers/specialists around the globe.

All individuals and representatives of an organization in agricultural related fields are invited to participate in this survey.
