Improvement of Research Environement for Young Researchers

Objectives

To promote creation of work environments in which young researchers can independently carry out research in research organizations currently striving to become world-class research bases, an arrangement is planned which gives young researchers independence and the opportunity to work in a competitive environment, based on the tenure track system (after young researchers have been chosen though a very fair and open selection process and before those who pass a strict evaluation are given positions with tenure,, they are given fixed term employment during which they can gain experience as independent researchers).

Participants

Universities, inter-university research institutes, national governmental testing and research organizations, and independent administrative organizations

Implementation Period

As a general rule, five years (midterm evaluation during the third year)

Financial Support

As a general rule, a maximum of ¥200 million per year (including indirect expenses)
