Motivational Book for Students

Deadline for Application: April 18, 2008.

In 2006, the Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) Visiting Research Fellowship Program at Tsukuba, and at Okinawa were modified and combined together under one program, and a new fellowship program, named Project Site Type, was launched.
The JIRCAS Visiting Research Fellowship Program aims at the promotion of collaborative research to address various problems confronting the countries in developing regions on a global scale, including the critical situation of food production, the progression of desertification and the gradual disappearance of genetic resources.
Under this Fellowship Program JIRCAS is inviting promising researchers from institutes in developing regions who will play a major role in the activities of their own institutes in the future to carry out collaborative research for the sustainable development or rapid progress of agriculture, forestry and fisheries compatible with the preservation of the natural environment.
For the Project Site Type Fellowship, four (4) researchers will be selected to conduct research on a specified theme at a JIRCAS project site located in a developing country for a period of one (1) year.
