【The +α Series for Researchers Vol. 33: Webinar】
Theme: “Shaping Successful Global Collaboration – ASPIRE Adopted Proposals Demonstrate the Shape of International Collaborative Research”
Date: Friday, March 14, 2025, 4p.m.-5:30p.m.
Overview:
JST’s Advanced Scientific and Scientific Research Partnerships Initiative “ASPIRE” is a program to promote international collaborative research,
ASPIRE”, JST’s project for promoting advanced international collaborative research, will be held on March 14, 2025, at the University of Tokyo.
ASPIRE” is an initiative to promote “international brain circulation” that enables Japanese researchers to continuously stand at the forefront of the global scientific community and develop outstanding research,
ASPIRE supports “the development of young researchers and the effective creation of an international network of researchers” by “promoting international brain circulation” so that Japanese researchers can continue to stand at the forefront of the global scientific community and conduct outstanding research.
The ASP supports this initiative.
In this webinar, we will introduce the specific activities of the projects adopted by ASPIRE and explain how to conduct actual international collaborative research.
and how international collaborative research is actually carried out.
In addition, an ASPIRE representative from JST will take the stage to explain how ASPIRE expects international collaborations to be conducted and what the future holds,
ASPIRE’s expectations for international collaboration and future prospects will be explained.While researchers are based in Japan,
How can researchers build an international network and accelerate international collaborative research while based in Japan?
This is an opportunity to get hints on how researchers can build international networks and accelerate international collaborative research while maintaining a base in Japan.
