What Makes an Effective Grant Proposal?

DC1/DC2 Fellowship funded by JSPS is Japan’s most prestigious program, supporting exceptional doctoral students with monthly stipends and research grants and is open to both Japanese and international graduate students. However, the application process and evaluation criteria are primarily provided in Japanese, making it challenging for international students to apply.

In this seminar, I will be your guide to the world of the DC1/DC2 program and its evaluation system. Let’s explore together the path to an “Effective Grant Proposal” through the use of storytelling strategy!

Whether Japanese or Non-Japanese, if you are planning to apply for the DC1/DC2 Fellowship this year, or in the future, then this seminar is for you!
