When applying to participate

Fill out the Application Form for JSPS Science Dialogue Program, and fax or email it to JSPS. JSPS accepts it through the year.

Before applying, please consult with the host researcher and read closely the program guideline.

Upon application acceptance

1. JSPS gives the teacher the Fellow's contact information. Planning for the lecture session is carried out directly with the faculty. As the students' English proficiency is apt to be weak, it is important to do the following things in advance.

• Decide upon the content of the lecture (e.g., describing the Fellow's own research, telling why s/he decided to become a researcher, introducing his/her home country)
• Ascertain the students' level of English proficiency
• Ascertain the students' level of technical knowledge regarding the subject
• Prepare an abstract and a list of key words for the students to study in advance of the lecture
• Decide whether the Fellow accompanies his/her colleague for explaining the point of lecture

2.  Regarding expenses

JSPS will cover the following expenses with its regulations.

• Transportation costs for fellow and his/her accompanying host or colleague.
• Cost related to delivering lecture (e.g., consumables, printing, up to ¥50,000).

After the lecture is completed

After the lecture is completed, please fill out the activity report and the questionnaire and submit them to JSPS within 10 days after the lecture.
For your information, we will present the Fellow and the accompanying person with a certificate of appreciation after the lecture.

* As these materials will be posted on JSPS’s website or publications, please be careful to properly annotate any copyrighted materials.

* Dear host researchers or Japanese colleagues: Please assist the Fellow in submission of forms in case.

＊ Tips for Success ＊

• Before participating in this program, please obtain the consent of your host researcher.
• Using a lot of figures, photos, and Japanese key words in your materials and slides will help to improve the students’ understanding of your lecture. Utilizing experiments, specimens, models or other observational devices will help perk the students’curiosity.
• If you are accompanied by your colleague, it is good to discuss the content of the lecture and its procedure with him/her beforehand, as well as with the teacher of the school.
• In giving your lecture, many past fellows advise you to use easy words and short sentences, and the most important thing is to speak SLOWLY.
