Therefore, we are calling for students who are eligible for support (hereinafter referred to as "Next-Generation Fellows").

This program seeks individuals who can contribute to Japan's future science, technology, and innovation and who can promote initiatives to make the world a better place through their comprehensive ability to have a broad perspective and knowledge, excellent judgment, and the acting power.

The program will provide to adopted fellows the support grant which is an amount equivalent to living expense to devote their research as well as research funds, and will refer the opportunity of study abroad for research to overseas institutes and the acquisition of transferable skills. Besides it will implement the various initiatives related to their career development and raising.
