Short-term Invitation Fellowship Program for Research in Japan
The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science invites applications for its short-term invitation fellowship program for research in Japan. This allows researchers employed at designated Japanese research institutions and laboratories to invite fellow researchers from other countries to Japan to participate in discussions, attend seminars, give lectures, or similar. All fields of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences are eligible.
Fellowships are open to senior scientists, university professors, and others with substantial professional experience. They must be citizens of a country that has diplomatic relations with Japan. The fellowships last 14 to 60 days. Applications for this program must be submitted to JSPS by a host scientist in Japan through the head of the applicant’s university or institution.
Awards will include round-trip air travel, a daily maintenance allowance of 18,000 yen, domestic research travel allowance of 150,000 yen and a host’s cooperation allowance of 50,000 yen.
