Activities

The Foundation strives to realize its mission by providing financial support to outstanding faculty members nominated by the presidential offices of Southeast Asian universities, via scholarships, fellowships, research grants, and graduate support.

Mission

The goal of the Foundation is to support :

• The development of human resources in Southeast Asian universities, thereby contributing to improved education, collaboration and cooperation among Southeast Asian universities and Japanese universities.
• The development of a collaborative network among university personnel in Southeast Asian countries and Japan.
• The enhancement of cultural understanding and closer relationships among Southeast Asian countries and Japan.

To put it another way, the experiences and relationships acquired by the grantees during their stay in Japan do not end at the time of graduation. The completion of study and research in Japan is the beginning of consistent and diversified networking activities contributing to long-term enhanced cooperation and collaboration.
