The British Council in Japan, in association with the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science, invites applications for its summer programme. This enables UK investigators in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences to pursue collaborative research at Japanese universities and research institutes, thereby allowing them to advance their own research while promoting scientific progress in both Japan and their respective countries.
Applicants must have British nationality and be current MPhil or PhD students at a UK university. They must receive advance acceptance from a host researcher who is a full-time staff member at a university or research institution in Japan.
The awards include round trip airfare, a maintenance allowance of JPY 534,000, a research support allowance of JPY 158,500 and insurance. 18 awards are available. The fellowship duration is 12 June to 22 August 2018.
