Chapter 5. Promotion of Scientific Research
3. Training of Young Researchers
The training and securing of creative and capable young researchers
who will be responsible for future scientific research in our country has become
a pressing issue, in view of the increased need for creative, advanced scientific
research in rapidly developing scientific research.
Attempts have been made, therefore, to improve education and
research at graduate schools, to provide fellowships for Japanese junior scientists
through the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and post-doctoral fellowships
for research abroad with emphasis on overseas research exchange, and to offer
foreign researchers with research opportunities in Japan through post-doctoral
fellowships for foreign researchers.
