Securing stable research funding is essential for expanding the possibilities of your work and turning your ideas into reality. The Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI) program is one of Japan’s most important funding schemes, supporting academic research across all fields—from basic science to applied studies.
In this seminar, we will introduce the structure of KAKENHI and key points for preparing your application. Experiences of a researcher funded by a KAKENHI grant will also be shared.
We hope this seminar will deepen your understanding of KAKENHI and inspire you to take the next step in your research journey.
