Please note only members of the JSPS Alumni Association of the UK and RoI or members of our network for Japanese Researchers based in the UK or RoI are eligible to apply to this scheme. This scheme aims to support events that create high quality collaboration in cutting edge fields or showcase research in areas where Japan and the UK or RoI are world leading. If you are eligible, please read on for more details about how to apply.
JSPS London's primary aims include publicising academic research from Japan and strengthening collaborative research linkages between the UK or Republic of Ireland (RoI) and Japan. To help achieve these aims, JSPS London has created this scheme to support events organised by members of the JSPS Alumni Association of the UK and RoI or by Japanese Researchers based in the UK or RoI at institutional or departmental level. These events should aim to create high quality collaboration in cutting edge fields or showcase research in areas where Japan and the UK or RoI are world leading, and can be a symposium or smaller scale seminar. Both kinds of events can either focus on UK or RoI-Japan bilateral collaboration or be part of an international conference that aims to develop trusted multilateral partnerships with Japan and the UK and/or RoI at the centre.
