EURAXESS Japan Tour 2017 @ Waseda University

EURAXESS Japan Tour 2017 @Waseda: Research Cooperation & Postdoctoral Mobility to Europe through the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions

EURAXESS Japan and Waseda University organised a seminar on research cooperation with Europe and post-doctoral mobility to Europe through the well-known Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programmes Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) and Individual Fellowships (IF), as both programmes have active calls in 2017 (RISE: closing 5 April; IF: open 11 April, closing 14 September).

To allow an enhanced engagement with the participants, individual consultation sessions were  organised in the second half of the event, so that interested PhD students, postdocs, or senior researchers could seek council directly to a panel of experts.

Event participation was free of charge to interested early career or senior researchers in any discipline and with affiliation to any Japanese research institution.

The event was a great success, with more than 40 attendees to the seminar and more than 20 participants in the individual consultation sessions, which had to be extended in time in order to address everyone's questions.

EURAXESS wishes to thank the host institution, Waseda University, for a perfect organisation; the speakers from Waseda University, the Delegation of the EU to Japan and NCP Japan, and of course all the individual researchers who participated.

We are looking forward to future editions of the EURAXESS Japan tour!

Feel free to contact us to organise a similar event at your institution!
