AUN/SEED-Net Short-term Study Program in Japan

Overview

It is essential for AUN/SEED-Net students to conduct high quality doctoral thesis research of international standard and to complete doctoral degrees within three years. The AUN/SEED-Net Project thus provides thesis research assistance for AUN/SEED-Net students through the joint thesis research supervision from Japanese Supporting Universities. To facilitate this assistance, Collaborative Research Program has been introduced, in which each Host Institution, in consultation with Japanese Supporting Universities identifies a few well-defined and focused Collaborative Research Themes (or research umbrellas), each of which is a sub-area of research defined by several key words leading to a number of interrelated and progressively conducted possible thesis research topics. Then some of those research themes/topics will be carried out by AUN/SEED-Net students under joint supervision of Host Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities, while other research topics are encouraged to be carried out by graduate students of Member Institutions as well.

The Short-Term Study Program in Japan aims to provide such support for students in the Doctoral Degree Sandwich Program. During three years of scholarship period, students can visit their Japanese co-advisors once or twice, for a total duration of eight months to receive thesis research supervision.


Objectives

(1) To carry out joint thesis research supervision by Japanese co-advisors in Japan.
(2) To ensure high quality of doctoral theses (which will lead to a good number of publications

within three years.
(3) To enhance the research collaboration between Host Institutions and Japanese Supporting
Universities
