The Laboratoire International Associé (LIA) FJPPL was created in 2006 to promote collaboration between French and Japanese teams of researchers working in subatomic physics and related areas. The main themes and the laboratories presently involved are listed below. The activities of French and Japanese researchers within these themes are strongly reinforced by pursuing them jointly in the context of the FJPPL. For this purpose, the LIA framework provides an efficient tool which encourages and facilitates valuable exchanges of personnel, as well as joint training initiatives for junior staff and students. It is also a convenient setting for initiating, promoting and developing new projects and ideas in our community. On a yearly basis, collaborative projects can apply for support and a general workshop is organised for presentation and review of the research topics. In addition, all collaborating teams organise their own dedicated exchanges and meetings.

In 2009, the LIA FJPPL was renamed LIA TYL-FJPPL, to honour the memory of Toshiko Yuasa, the first Japanese woman physicist and a pioneer in the Franco-Japanese cooperation, in a special ceremony in Tsukuba (Ibaraki).

In 2014, twenty-six joint French-Japanese collaborative projects are on-going within the LIA TYL-FJPPL and have applied for support (see here, for members)

The themes are :

• Energy frontier physics
• Flavour physics
• Neutrino and non-accelerators physics
• Hadron Physics
• Astroparticle physics
• Instrumentation R&D for high energy experiments
• Accelerator R&D for high energy physics
• GRID computing
• Application of high energy physics
