Following its implementation in FY2024, Hiroshima University has continued the “Support Program for Dispatching Young Faculty Members to International Organizations” in FY2025.
This program was established as part of the IDEC Institute for International Collaboration’s mission to “develop human resources capable of contributing to international cooperation.”
It aims to support the dispatch of young faculty members from Hiroshima University to international organizations and related institutions, with the objective of fostering individuals who will contribute to the creation of social impact through academic research and enhance the international presence of both Hiroshima University and Japan as a whole.
In FY2025, the second year of the program, three faculty members were selected and dispatched under this initiative.
