Short-term Research Program (SRJP) in Japan - AUN/SEED-Net

Overview

Scholarization (ASEAN University Network JICA) — Over years of the project implementation, hundreds of graduates have been produced and a number of them returned home country to teach at sending Member Institutions.

Nevertheless, their respective Member Institution will gain benefits in terms of network strengthening and capacity enhancement through this after-graduation academic collaboration between their staff and Japanese Supporting Universities. The applicants are required to get consent from Japanese professor(s). Only 18 applicants will be selected to join the program annually.
