The Research Administrators Office at the University of Tsukuba, plans to hold a Kakenhi (funding for scientific researches) explanatory seminar for non-Japanese researchers atttending the University of Tsukuba. This seminar will offer sufficient instructions on how to be well-prepared for his/her applications for a Kakenhi grant.

Kakenhi is one of the most fundamental governmental research grants which sponsors wide research areas ranging from natural sciences to social sciences.  Kakenhi opens doors to researchers from any country. Its sponsors (JPSP and MEXT) provide informative English web pages for foreign researchers.  However, compared to the existing Japanese sources of Kakenhi information available in written materials or explanatory seminars, English sources of Kakenhi information are still very limited.  To fill in the gap, the Research Administrators Office will explain the basics of Kakenhi and offer useful tips on what to write, how to write them, and how the applications to be reviewed in this seminar.  Please feel free to join the seminar.
