The Leading Initiative for Excellent Young Researchers (LEADER) works to show new career paths to young researchers which they can succeed with, for example in industry circles, while creating through industry, academia, and government a stable and independent position for young researchers who would tackle new areas of research.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) invites posts from the research institutions that wish to participate in this project, and then publicizes those posts after satisfying the requirements through the website of MEXT or JSPS. In parallel with this, we will publicly offer a post of excellent young researchers (EYRs) for young researchers who are motivated to tackle new areas of research and conduct research in a new place of research.
Next, each research institution offering a post negotiates with applicants (young researchers) individually. Furthermore, JSPS conducts a review of the young researcher applicants based on the purpose of this project, and MEXT determines the EYR candidates. As a result, if the EYR candidates obtain a stable and independent research environment in research institutions, MEXT determines those candidates as EYRs and provides a support of research expenditures, etc. as needed for a specified period of time.
Please be aware in advance that the contents may be changed depending on the budget situation.
For details, please refer to Application Guidelines etc.
Applicants (researchers) among EYRs, who are going to be active in various research institutions of industry-academia-government, shall satisfy the following requirements. They must meet all these requirements at the time of application.
