Research
Funding organisation:
Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - Vlaanderen
What?
'Scientific joint mobility projects with Japan' is a scientific exchange program of the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) in cooperation with the Japanese Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). This program supports two-year joint research projects and covers travel expenses, accommodation, and living expenses, with special attention to junior researchers.
- FWO offers researchers from Flanders a daily living allowance of €66,00 and pays the travel expenses towards/from Japan (to be booked through Omnia Travel)
- JSPS pays the researchers from Japan a total amount of a maximum of 5,000,000 JPY per year (for the travel expenses and the stay within Flanders).
New from 2025 onwards: The online application form now contains a specific tab 'Research Security'. Applicants are required, based on the topic of their research proposal, involved countries and foreign partners, to complete a set of questions regarding unwanted knowledge transfer, misuse of research results and/or interference. If the outcome of this questionnaire shows that your project proposal needs a research security approval, please contact RRI@uhasselt.be.
Who?

In each cooperation project on the Flemish side, at least one junior scientist, Ph.D., or postdoctoral researcher with no more than 12 years of postdoctoral experience should perform an exchange towards Japan.
