Other Programs

We support the U.S.-Japan Network for the Future, which is a program organized by the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation that seeks to foster young Japan specialists. The program provides a place for exchange and discussion with counterparts in Japan and seeks to strengthen the relationship between the participating specialists.

Center for Global Partnership (CGP) supports U.S.-Japan cooperative research together with prominent U.S. thinktanks with the aim to strengthen intellectual exchange between the U.S. and Japan and foster the next generation of Japan and U.S. specialists.

CGP supports the Japan-U.S. Partnership Program, which is organized by the Research Institute for Peace and Security (RIPS). Over a period of two years, the program develops specialist knowledge in researchers with an interest in the field of security in relation to Japan. The program does so by providing scholarships, seminars, thesis support, overseas training, and more under the guidance of the program director.
