The "Editage Grant" aims to provide financial support, mentorship, and career guidance to young researchers who aspire to make a societal impact through their research.
Young researchers often face various challenges in their career development, and sometimes they do not receive sufficient support from their surroundings during this process. Through this support program, our company aims to enable promising researchers to become independent and demonstrate leadership while navigating complex research environments.
In this year's program, a grant that can be allocated to all research-related expenses will be awarded, with five Grand Prize winners each receiving 1 million yen. One Most Outstanding Award winner selected from these will receive an additional 1 million yen. Furthermore, grants will also be awarded to 15 runners-up. Continuing from last year, with the sponsorship of Academist Inc. and Emerging Technologies Inc., two individuals from the runners-up will each receive the "Academist Award" of 250,000 yen and the "Doctoral Information Engine Award" of 250,000 yen. A total of 20 recipients will receive a total grant of 8 million yen. This grant can be used for any purpose related to research activities, not limited to thesis writing, such as travel expenses for surveys or conference attendance, and purchase of materials.
