HOPE Meetings

Both advancing scientific research and building a science and technology community in the Asia-Pacific will be predicated upon fostering talented young researchers in the region. JSPS will hold HOPE Meetings to provide opportunities for excellent graduate students from the region to build networks and to engage in face-to-face exchanges with Nobel laureates and other eminent researchers working on the leading edge of science around the world.
In the context of this program, HOPE has a dual meaning: expectation that the young researchers will go on to play highly contributive roles in advancing science, and optimism that their generation will build a robust S&T community in the Asia-Pacific region.
