Research program · In person
JSPS sends young international researchers (JSPS Fellows) to high schools across Japan to give lectures in English about their research and home countries. Schools apply each term; FY2027 application dates have not been announced yet.
Science Dialogue aims to deepen students' interest in academic research and its international nature. A JSPS Fellow visits the school and gives a lecture of up to two hours (which may include experiments) in English, followed by Q&A. Lectures can cover any field of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, and schools may request a female researcher as a role model. An optional assistant researcher may help with Japanese explanations.
