Nagoya University (hereinafter referred to as “the University”) aims to foster doctoral human resources who can advance the interdisciplinary frontier, create future knowledge, implement it in society, and play an active role globally.
The Nagoya University Interdisciplinary Frontier Fellowship (hereinafter referred to as “the Fellowship”) is an academic system designed to support both the research and the livelihood of students who enroll in the doctoral program of the University in the hope that they will acquire considerable knowledge and outstanding abilities during the three years of the doctorate program and will demonstrate their wide-ranging faculties cultivated through their experience in various fields in society after obtaining their doctoral degree.
Through this system, the University expects that successful doctoral graduates will contribute to the continued deepening of science and technology in Japan, the creation of next-generation science, technology, and innovation, and the construction of a vibrant society.
The University Fellowship Establishment Project for the Creation of Science and Technology Innovation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (https://www.jst.go.jp/shincho/program/fellowship.html )and Nagoya University jointly implement this system.
