Hokkaido University Doctoral Fellowship
Based on the “Support for Pioneering Research Initiated by the Next Generation” implemented by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the purpose of the Hokkaido University Doctoral Fellowship is to foster outstanding doctoral researchers who can develop Japan’s science, technology, and innovation, and open up the future by creatively solving important issues.
Therefore, this fellowship program will provide an environment in which doctoral students can devote themselves to research by providing them with research fellowship (amount equivalent to living expenses) and research expenses.
