Within the framework of the HeKKSaGOn Alliance, scholars and researchers of the six partner universities have the opportunity to apply for seed funding to support joint projects and are invited to submit applications for funding for up to three years with well-defined objectives and activities. Project applications should take into account the HeKKSaGOn Presidents\u2019 strategic decisions for the second cycle and its priority areas, and should state their contribution to the sustainability of the HeKKSaGOn Alliance.<\/p>\n
In principle, each member university will support a project in which a researcher enrolled at their own university participates as the lead coordinator, and each member university will determine the amount of funding provided. The amount that Tohoku University plans to provide in funding for all projects will be 1.5 million yen for each year, and the amount provided to each project will be determined by how many projects are selected (up to a maximum of 2).<\/p>\n
If you would like to apply, please discuss the content of your application with collaborators from other member universities and submit your application by the deadline.<\/p>\n
Applications must be submitted by a group of scholars\/researchers from at least three of the six HeKKSaGOn member universities. Each group must include the participation of researchers from at least one Japanese member university and at least one German member university. In addition, one researcher from the Japanese and one from the German side should act as lead coordinator and co-coordinator of the project.<\/p>\n
