Fully Funded Research Fellowship Program in Japan

Matsumae International Foundation Fully Funded Research Fellowship Program 2020 in Japan is now open.  

Upon the concept of the founder of the Matsumae International Foundation (MIF), “Towards A Greater Understanding of Japan and a Lasting World Peace”, MIF has started the Research Fellowship Program in 1980.   In order for Japan to coexist peacefully with the other nations of the world, and to facilitate the tasks that await young people in the 21st century, they are now trying to prepare a forum for Japan’s international activities. In this way, they believe, they will be able to open up a path to the future that will preserve our nation and mankind.  

Japanese are now making earnest efforts to face up to this problem and are studying how to open a path to peace and prosperity on the basis of mutual understanding.
