MIF (Matsumae International Fondation) Research Fellowship Program 2021 in Japan (Fully Funded)

Date - 

Call for applications for the MIF Research Fellowship Program 2021 in Japan. The duration of the fully funded research fellowship in Japan is between 3 to 6 months and commencing month and ending month between April 2021 and March 2022

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.

The Matsumae International Foundation aims to develop the future by contributing to global friendship and goodwill through our enterprise which leaves “peoples” connecting Japan with the rest of the world. This is extremely important in the era of highly developed science and technologies, especially in these days of extremely tensed world affairs. Our activities are nothing fancy but we are happy to continue those activities based upon the enthusiasm of our supporters. I again like to take this opportunity to ask for your continuing support.
