Japanese Studies Overseas and Intellectual Exchange

 

  1. Support of Japanese Studies Overseas
    In order to deepen understanding of Japan in other countries and to maintain good relations between Japan and other countries, support through fellowships (for scholars to conduct research in Japan) are offered.
    If the Japanese Studies Institutions or Associations of Japanese Studies overseas wish to receive support from the Japan Foundation, please consult with the relevant Japan Foundation's overseas offices or nearest Embassy or Consulate-General of Japan.
  2. Promotion of Intellectual Exchange between Japan and other countries
    Intellectual exchange programs (e.g., collaborative research and dialogue projects) are supported to deepen mutual
    understanding and to encourage intellectual contributions to contribute to solving problems confronting the world.
  3. Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership (CGP)
    With the aims of promoting collaboration between Japan and the United States with the goal of fulfilling shared global responsibilities and contributing to improvements of the world's welfare, CGP supports an array of U.S. and Japanese Institutions to conduct policy-oriented projects, American undergraduates to visit Japan, and outreach coordinators placed in the Southern and Midwestern U.S. to provide information about Japan and to foster interactions between Japan and the U.S.
