The Matsumae International Foundation Fellowship programme 2024 is open to all Ph.D. holders who aspire to make a difference in society by conducting research in their specialties. Japan is an attractive location for any researcher since it gives a high quality of education as well as excellent resources for doing research in their particular subjects. This fully-funded fellowship will equip the candidate with all advanced tools and processes, as well as a network of intellectuals, to help them address global concerns. This MIF fellowship will expand your knowledge and provide an in-depth approach to all challenges relevant to your chosen subject.
Matsumae International Foundation provides a forum for motivated scholars to learn about and debate contemporary global concerns and solutions. Working together with professionals will broaden your knowledge and exposure. The research fellowship programme exposes overseas scholars to Japanese history, philosophy, and major pioneers. Hence, through MIF, you may learn more about Japan by building a network and pleasant relationships with Japanese and other foreign participants. Researchers of any faith, gender, or ethnicity are welcome.
Dr. Matsumae established the MIF in 1979 to bridge the gap between Japan and other nations by encouraging outstanding and young academics to conduct research and give answers for their home countries. People from all backgrounds, regardless of gender, colour, sex, religion, or philosophy, are strongly urged to apply for this fully-funded fellowship, which will help to further academic progress in Japan. Another purpose of MIF is to broaden young scholars' understanding of Japanese culture and to bridge the gap between Japan and the rest of the globe.
Additionally, this worldwide fellowship covers the researchers' basic living expenses, providing them with all the assistance they require. There will also be study excursions for learning, exposure, and pleasure. Young minds are encouraged to participate in problem-solving research and to learn about Japan.
