Research Grants are awarded for novel collaborations between teams of scientists working
in Korea University and NIPS. The research team is expected to develop new lines of research through
the collaboration. Up to 3,000,000 yen per grant may be applied for. Two
to four proposals will be selected.
Period of the project: 1 year from November 1, 2005
Application form: A MS-WORD file can be downloaded here.
Deadline for application : October 20, 2005
Please send the application form the contact addresses shown below (both
Korean and Japanese sides)
