Program Summary
-BRIDGE Fellowship Launched for JSPS Alumni Members-
To date, JSPS alumni associations have been established in 11 countries and regions: Germany, France, the UK, the US, Sweden, India, Egypt, East Africa (Kenya), Korea, Bangladesh, and Finland. Each of these associations works to maintain and strengthen scientific exchange between its host country or region and Japan.
This new fellowship will be carried out as a component of the Japanese government’s initiative to strengthen S&T diplomacy. Under it, researchers from other countries who have experienced research in Japan through one of JSPS’s program are given the opportunity to “revisit” Japan. The program targets researchers who are members of the alumni associations listed above. As BRIDGE Fellows, they come to Japan to create, sustain or strengthen collaborative ties and networks with Japanese colleagues. Concrete forms that these visits may take include Fellows revisiting their past host institutions, holding meetings to plan or arrange joint research projects or seminars, training young researchers, giving lectures, or preparing or attending academic or research meetings. The results of each BRIDGE visit are recorded in reports prepared by both the visiting researcher and his/her alumni association. These reports are used to evaluate the visit along with the number of new applications submitted/selected for various categories of JSPS programs, based on the collaborative relations created, sustained or strengthened by way of the Fellow’s visit.
