Overseas Fellowship Program
In addition to providing opportunities for early career researchers and graduate students to pursue their research projects abroad, we will also support presentation and information gathering at international conferences by staff members in industrial and governmental sectors during their stay at overseas institutions.
The goal of the program is to support voluntary and autonomous early career applicants to build their capacities overseas who are eligible to play key roles in international arenas for the Arctic issues.
