The Royal Society and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science invite applications for the cost-share programme of their international exchanges scheme.

The UK applicant must apply to the Royal Society and the Japanese applicant must apply to JSPS. Both applicants must have completed a PhD and must hold a permanent or fixed-term contract in an eligible organisation or research institute.
