Mr. Hiroshi Kumabe
Cultivating young researcher through joint research
LiMES (Life & Medical Sciences Institute) at Univ. of Bonn
Started in 2006
Various collaboration
Exchanging young researchers has been the key factor from the start of collaboration.
Cultivating „next generation“ researchers will contribute to establish long‐standing partnership.
Joint research Holding annual symposium/seminar short-term research exchange etc.
How are young researchers involved?Participating in joint symposium and international conference.
PhD students and postdocs of both universities experimented at each host university.

Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
Mr. Hiroshi Ando
Aim: Creating Advanced Research NetworkObjective:•Promote International collaboration in cutting edge fields by creating world‐class research hubs
•Foster talented young researchers in Japan and partner countriesGrants: Up to JPY 18 million /year from JSPS *Partner institutions are required to cover their own expenses. (cf. international exchange fees etc.) Project Duration: 5 years
Creating Research Hubs – Core-to-Core Program–
