Moreover, JICOP is conducting additional activities in collaboration with other domestic organizations/agencies.

Jointly with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, JICOP has held Conference on measures for ozone layer protection in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, China, and other developing countries, with the participation of Japan, the United States, and the host nation.
Conducting research services for the sake of bilateral projects financed by the Montreal Protocol Fund.
On behalf of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), JICOP has received trainees from developing nations once each year since 1990 for a course of approximately forty days under the direction of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
Taking part in the planning of several committees from other domestic organizations and agencies and thereby promoting collaboration.

 The department of international cooperation promotes assistance for developing countries. Activities include support for developing countries financed by the Japan Fund for Global Environment, planning of the the seminar on policy implementation and alternative technologies concerning ozone layer protection organized by Japan International Cooperation Agency, and participation of Japanese bilateral cooperation under Montreal Protocol Fund as well. Those activities are fully supported by the member associations of JICOP.

Activities Financed by ERCA
  In September 1999 the seminar on alternative technologies and energy conservation in household refrigerator was held at Nanjing. There were many good question and answers.
  The seminar on alternative cleaning technologies was held at Xian in December 2000. The experts from Japan explained alternative technologies after the Chinese government officials explained the policy in cleaning sector(Materials in Japanese, in Chinese).
  In March 2002 the seminar on alternative technologies and energy conservation in household refrigerator was held at Bangkok. The talk focused the latest alternative technologies and participants actively discussed the technologies (Materials in English, in Siamese).

Seminar at Bangkok

On October 23, 2003 in Putrajaya city, JICOP with the assistance of Department of Environment (DOE), Malaysia organized the Seminar on Phase-out of HCFC and Improvement of Energy Efficiency in Air conditioning. This seminar got support from DOE, Malaysia, financial support of Japan Fund for Global Environment, and technical support of Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association.
At the beginning, Mr. Ishii explained Japanese experience and recent trend for recycling of air conditioning equipment. After the keynote address, Ms. Rosnani Ibarahim, Director General of DoE made opening address. Five experts from Japan made their talks on the technologies in the technical session.

Participation of Japanese Bilateral Cooperation
 
Participating the Project Formulation Project of Japanese bilateral cooperation, the director and member experts consulted the companies at Shenzhen area in 2000.
Consulting at Shenzhen
Since 2000 the department has been working for development of a strategy for refrigeration servicing sector in China as a UNEP consultant. In January 2002, Chinese members of the project took study tour and got the information on Specific Home Appliance Recycling Act and made site tours on the CFC recovering machine company, CFC distillation plant and household appliance recycling site. The follow-up and review were made at the end of tour.
