The COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts have forced us to create new
Moonshot Goals aimed at tackling the challenges of our post-crisis
society and economy. As it is today’s youth that will be responsible for
tomorrow’s society, we must incorporate the flexible and unconventional
thinking of young people when setting goals for the ‘new normal’.
Therefore, JST is holding a call for proposals for new Moonshot Goal
candidates and the youth-focused teams to assess them. Please note that
proposing image of society in 2050 is not limited to those related to
the COVID-19.
Dates of document/interview screening and announcement of selected teams are provisional and subject to change.
Application Deadline | November 10, 2020 at 12:00 noon, Japan Standard Time |
---|---|
Document Screening Period | Mid-late November |
Interview Screening Period | Early-mid December |
Announcement of Selected Teams | Early-mid January |
