The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) invites posts from the research institutions that wish to participate in this project, and then publicizes those posts after satisfying the requirements through the website of MEXT or JSPS. At the same time, MEXT publicizes invitation for the EYR. Next, JSPS conducts a review of the young research applicants based on the purpose of this project, and MEXT selects the EYR candidates.
On the other hand, each research institution, presenting the published posts, negotiates individually with the EYR candidates, and as a result, when the EYR candideate obtains a stable and independent research environment in a research institution, MEXT decides the candidates as excellent young researchers. Therefore, we will provide expenses for a certain period of time as may be needed.
