May be this is among the successful colaboration with Japanese Scientists through JSPS programme. Since 1990 I remember involved in JSPS seminar and from 1996 until now I am going to Japan (The University of Tokyo, Ehime University, Kagoshima University and National Institute of Basic Science Nagoya) every year for research collaboration in coastal marine sciences. UPM signed MOU with AORI The University of Tokyo and active until now. This JSPS ACORE programme is a continuation of multilateral programme 2010-2011.
