Canon Research Fellowships to Japan
The Canon Foundation in Europe offers Research Fellowships to highly qualified European researchers holding a doctorate or at least a Master’s degree, regardless of discipline.
Eligibility
· |
Applicants should hold a doctorate or at least a Master’s degree of any discipline |
· |
You are eligible during the ten-year period following the successful completion of their PhD or MA degree. Extensions to the ten-year rule are possible in principle in case of exceptional circumstances which should be explained in the application and supporting documents are required. |
· |
The European Fellowship holders pursue a period of research in Japan whereas the Japanese Fellows do their research at host institutions in Europe. |
· |
The Fellowships are awarded for periods of minimum three months and maximum one year. |
· |
The Fellowships are awarded regardless of discipline and existing employment positions. |
Canon Fellows from Europe are free to choose their host institutes and hosts in Japan. The same freedom is given to Japanese Canon Fellows coming to Europe. Canon Foundation Research Fellowships may be applied for when an agreement on co-operation and on a research plan has been reached between the guest researcher and the proposed host institution.
Value
The financial support for Research Fellows ranges from 22,500 Euro to 27,500 Euro per year and pro-rata for different periods. The Canon Foundation gives priority to those who plan to travel to Europe or Japan rather than prolong a current stay.
Application procedure for Fellowships
The annual deadline for applications is September 15. Consideration of the applications takes several months. The Selection Committee's final decisions are convened to the applicants before end December of that year. Therefore, the earliest possible date to begin the Fellowship is January 1 of the following year.
It is strongly recommended that the candidates obtain the current issue of the application form from the Canon website or at the Secretariat of the Foundation, in Amstelveen - the Netherlands.
