The aims of FoS are to foster the next generation of leaders and to create networks that connect young researchers with the world's leading scientists. The Japanese-American-German Frontiers of Science (JAGFOS) Symposium is a joint initiative of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (AvH) and JSPS.
