Note: Tohoku University Doctoral Fellowship has been integrated into the Pioneering Research Support Project from April 2024.

In February 2021, Tohoku University was selected for MEXT's "University Fellowship Creation Project for Innovation in Science and Technology," which aims to improve the treatment of doctoral students and ensure career paths are available to them. Our center provides support to doctoral students by managing this project.

Duties of fellowship recipients:

In addition to devoting themselves to their research activities, as outlined in their research plans, fellowship recipients are expected to understand the fellowship program's principles, fully appreciate that they are receiving national (taxpayer) money, and commit to their studies/research with a suitably serious attitude. They must also enroll in mandatory advance graduate research training and career-building programs.
