JIRCAS, through international collaborative research, one of the schemes of its main activities, aims to provide scientific solutions to the various problems confronting the countries in the developing regions of the world, particularly in the areas of agriculture, forestry and fisheries.
In line with this scheme, JIRCAS launched the JIRCAS Visiting Research Fellowship Program in 1992.
Since then, every year, JIRCAS invites promising researchers from research organizations in developing countries to conduct research work under the supervision of JIRCAS researchers.
This fellowship program has two types namely, Tsukuba-Okinawa and Project Site. Under the former, the research will be carried out either at the JIRCAS HQ in Tsukuba, or at the Tropical Agriculture Research Front (TARF) in Okinawa, while under the latter, at the institutes in developing countries where JIRCAS collaborative research projects are being implemented.
For this year, twelve (12) researchers will be awarded the Tsukuba-Okinawa Fellowship, and two (2), the Project Site Fellowship.
