Programs with such partner agencies mainly take the form of joint research projects, joint seminars and researcher exchanges. Altogether, JSPS carries out programs with 85 partner agencies in 43 countries and two international organizations, each with specially tailored contents

Proposals for bilateral projects are openly recruited; and, per agreement with the partner agency, are jointly selected and supported.

Project operation

Project operation

(1) Joint Research Projects
Under this format, support is provided for joint projects carried out by research teams in Japan and the counterpart country based on a 2-3 year research plan. JSPS’s support mainly takes the form of travel grants. The ultimate purpose of these projects is to build sustainable inter-group networks by supporting researcher interaction between the two teams.
(2) Joint Seminars
Supported are small-scale scientific seminars organized by bilateral teams for a period of up to one week. They are held in either Japan or the counterpart country.
(3) Researcher Exchanges
Under this framework, the sending country nominates visiting researchers, whom it dispatches upon the receiving country’s acceptance. These exchanges normally provide researchers with their first opportunity to do research in the counterpart country.
