This pie chart represents the male to female ration of IRCMS members. We have 12 PIs including 6 professionals, 67 people working in this institute.

About 48 percent of our members are female, and they are actively involved in research.

We aim to create a research environment in which women can play an active role.

 

International Dispatch & Exchange Programs

At our institute, we encourage IRCMS members to undertake international research visits through programs and projects organized by JSPS, JST, JASSO, universities, and other institutions, in order to enhance their research capabilities and professional expertise. To support this, we provide assistance with applying for scholarships, fellowships, and competitive funding. This includes information gathering and dissemination services by IRCMS research administrator, as well as document preparation guidance and interview coaching by mid-career and senior researchers, tailored to individual needs. Please feel free to consult with us at any time. Below are experience reports shared by IRCMS members. We invite you to take a look.
