Overview:
On Friday 20 November 2009, the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, the Delegation of the European Commission to Japan and EURAXESS-Links/Japan (Network of European Researchers in Japan) co-organised in Tokyo a full-day event entitled “Funding and Career Opportunities Fair for European Researchers and Students”. The main objective was to help highly-skilled European researchers and students in the development of their research activities, studies and career through informing them about the European and Japanese public research and funding opportunities (e.g FP7, funding schemes by Member States, Japanese funding schemes open to non-Japanese researchers) and career opportunities in public research organisations as well as in industry.
The key public research and funding organisations in Japan, as well as recruitment managers from four Japanese companies (Panasonic, Fujitsu, NTT Communication, Omron), presented their programmes, opportunities for foreign researchers and recruitment procedures. The event also introduced actual experience of European researchers for obtaining public fundings and working in Japanese industry, including the stories of two Vulcanus in Japan alumni.
The event was attended by over 150 people and followed by a reception to facilitate networking among European researchers and research and funding organisations of both regions. The full programme and presentations will be available on the EC Delegation’s website shortly.
