Japan - Canon Foundation Research Fellowships 2016 (€ 27,500)

The Canon Foundation in Europe is looking for candidates for its Research Fellowships. The deadline for applications is September 15, 2015. Annually, Canon grants up to 15 Fellowships to highly qualified European and Japanese researchers in all fields. The Fellowships are awarded for periods of minimum three months and maximum one year. The financial support ranges from € 22,500 to € 27,500 per year and pro-rata for different periods.

The European Fellowship holders pursue a period of research in Japan whereas the Japanese Fellows do their research at host institutions in Europe. Researchers from all disciplines as well as members of commercial, industrial, governmental or professional organisations may apply. Candidates are required to have obtained at least a Master's degree within the previous ten years, although exceptions can be made. Canon Fellows from Europe are free to choose their host institutes and hosts in Japan. The same freedom is given to Japanese Canon Fellows coming to Europe.

The objective of the Canon Foundation in Europe is the promotion of science, culture, know-how and mutual understanding between Europe and Japan.
