United Kingdom – Japan Arctic Research Bursaries Scheme 2024-25
Summary
This was an opportunity for United Kingdom-based researchers to apply for bursaries to support active participation in new joint partnerships with researchers based in Japan in the 2024-25 season.
Background
Researchers in the United Kingdom and Japan are well-placed to develop important new Arctic science partnerships that address pressing research questions. These partnerships can support the development of skill- and knowledge-based networks to strengthen researchers’ capability in both communities; generate innovative technical and observational approaches; and create lasting research connections.
The United Kingdom’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, working closely with the Science and Technology Network in the British Embassy Tokyo and the NERC Arctic Office, funded a bursaries scheme to support new UK-Japan Arctic science connections.
The outcomes of the bursaries programme are expected to support and further develop long-lasting research and collaboration links between UK-based and Japan-based researchers; to provide access opportunities for UK-based researchers to work with new partners in Japan; and develop ideas for future international projects.
