Purpose
Kyushu University seeks to promote the development of young medical innovators by acting as a hub in the west of Japan. We feel like it is important not just to develop young talented individuals from Japan, but also to reach out and teach like-minded people throughout Asia to learn about and contribute to medical innovation in Japan in the near future. It is for this reason that the Japan Medical Innovation Tour has been established.
We are going to recruit 9 young researchers from Hong Kong, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnamto tour various facilities in Kyushu and the wider area of Japan. Travel expenses and accommodations will be fully covered by Japan-Asia Youth Exchange Program in Science.
If you are a young researcher who is interested in medical innovation in Japan, please fill out the application as detailed below and we would be happy to hear from you.
