SUB: [April 17] Writing Seminar for JSPS DC1/DC2 Fellowship: Crafting a Compelling Research Story (WPI-ASHBi, Kyoto U)

What is the key to crafting an effective research proposal?

The JSPS DC1/DC2 Fellowship is Japan’s most prestigious funding program for doctoral students, supporting exceptional doctoral students in pursuing innovative and independent research with monthly stipends and research grants. While the doors are open to both Japanese and non-Japanese graduate students, limited information in English often creates a significant barrier for non-Japanese applicants.

To bridge this gap, this seminar will first guide you through the DC1/DC2 program and its evaluation system. Then, we will share practical tips on how to transform your ideas into a compelling proposal using the power of storytelling.

Whether Japanese or non-Japanese, if you are planning to apply for the DC1/DC2 Fellowship, let’s take your first step here!
