The THERS Interdisciplinary Frontier Next Generation Researcher Project (hereinafter referred to as “this project”) aims to resolve various issues facing the world and Japan, and to develop doctoral human resources who will lead a future knowledge-based society. Doctoral students are already at the forefront of research and supporting the foundation of university research. This project will provide financial support to such excellent students, and provide courses for them to acquire the skills required by companies, etc., thereby creating an environment in which they can devote themselves to their research without having to worry about employment.
In addition, by providing opportunities for interaction with doctoral students with different specialties, mentors with different values, and graduates of the program for leading graduate schools who serve as role models, the program encourages the development of new research based on original ideas and the creation of fusion research.
This program will be implemented by the MEXT’s Challenging Research Program for Next Generation Researchers （https://www.jst.go.jp/jisedai/）, and the Tokai National Higher Education and Research System (THERS).
