Outline
Purpose
The Bridge Fellowship Program provides former JSPS fellows with an opportunity to revisit their past host institutions in Japan, or to go to Japan to plan or implement joint research projects and seminars, to offer training or lectures for young researchers, or to prepare or attend scientific conferences and research meetings. The results of each BRIDGE visit are recorded in reports prepared by both the visiting researcher and his/her alumni association, with reports are used to evaluate the visit along with the collaborative relations created, sustained or strengthened by way of the fellow’s visit.
Researchers invited to Japan under this fellowship program are called “BRIDGE Fellows.” Based on applications by individual researchers, candidates are recommended to JSPS by JSPS alumni associations and JSPS offices (or the JSPS-designated official in Japanese embassy in countries that do not have a JSPS office).
