´ºÓêÖ±²¥app and CNRS launch Third CNRS ¨C University of Tokyo Ph.D. Joint Program

´ºÓêÖ±²¥app (´ºÓêÖ±²¥app) and France’s Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS*) launched the third joint call for proposals between the two institutions in order to develop new promising cooperation.
This third joint call is intended to fund joint research projects for 3 years, including funding for Ph.D. students so that they may work towards obtaining their doctorate degrees. The selected joint research projects will have two Ph.D. students (one CNRS, one ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app) associated with them. The ultimate aim for these students is for them to obtain a doctorate degree based on the work they do on the joint research over the three years.
The call for candidates was open from 13 November 2023 to 12 January 2024.
A total of 25 eligible proposals were received in response to the joint call. Based on the evaluation by experts, a Joint Selection Committee chaired by Prof. Nobuhito SAITO, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Executive Vice President, and by Prof. Alain SCHUHL, Chief Research Officer, CNRS, selected five projects.
The projects will start from this autumn.
* France’s Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS)
