Ⅲ Japanese Studies Overseas and Intellectual Exchange
- 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 is offered through fellowships to scholars (to conduct research in Japan) and through institutional grants.
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 overseas offices or nearest Embassy or Consulate-General of Japan. - 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. - 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 responsibilities and contributing to improvements of the world's welfare, CGP prioritizes in building global partnerships (e.g. grant programs for U.S. and Japanese institutions to conduct policy-oriented projects), cultivating individuals in the U.S. and Japan (e.g. fellowship program for researchers), as well as expanding and deepening the understanding of Japan in the U.S. (e.g. placing outreach coordinators in Southern and Midwestern U.S. to introduce Japan and foster interaction between Japan and the U.S.)
