Request for Proposal
For Intellectual Exchange Conference
The Japan Foundation is happy to announce our request for proposal for intellectual exchange conferences on topics related to social values in the post-globalization world. Globalization has brought not only many benefits but also tremendous challenges to the world. These challenges, including global financial crisis, widespread environmental degradation, and international demographic transformation, are so powerful and longstanding that they will potentially be reshaping our social values. The Japan Foundation welcomes your project ideas for international conferences that will look into the negative aspects of globalization and their impact on our social values, using Japan either as a case or as a point of reference.
This special grant program provides grants to partially cover expenses for implementing international intellectual collaborative projects that involve Japanese participation. The program is designed to deepen mutual understanding and establish closer relations between Japan and other countries while promoting global intellectual exchange.
