The AUN/SEED-Net Project with support from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) provides scholarships for prospective applicants from AUN-SEED/Net Member Institutions to pursue doctoral degrees in engineering at one of the following Japanese Supporting Universities: Hokkaido University, Keio University, Kyoto University, Kyushu University, Tokai University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Toyohashi University of Technology, University of Tokyo, Shibaura Institute of Technology, and Waseda University.
The fields of study that can be supported by the AUN/SEED-Net are as follows: Civil Engineering (CE), Chemical Engineering (ChE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Environmental Engineering (EnvE), Geological Engineering (GeoE), Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Manufacturing Engineering (ManuE), Materials Engineering (MatE), and Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering (ME/AE).
Under the above 9 fundamental engineering fields, applicants, if interested, may also propose any research topic(s) related to the five (5) interdisciplinary areas (Biotechnology, Disaster Mitigation, Global Environment, Natural Resources/Materials, and New/Renewable Energy).
Although studying outside ASEAN countries, students under the Doctoral Degree Program in Japan are encouraged to participate in AUN/SEED-Net’s network activities (e.g. AUN/SEED-Net Regional Conference, Collaborative Research activities, etc.) so as to create, maintain, and deepen the linkage with Member Institutions (student’s sending institution and/or student’s hosting institution when pursued master’s degree).
Objectives
- To increase the number of high quality doctoral degree holders in engineering at Member Institutions to contribute to a sustainable industrial development of ASEAN countries.
- To strengthen human networking of teaching and research staff among Member Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities.
Duration of Scholarships
The duration of the scholarship is normally not more than three years.
Eighteen (18) scholarships for each Japanese fiscal year.
Tuition fees, living expenses, health insurance, and a round-trip air ticket will be provided as per JICA regulations. For more information, please visit http://www.jica.go.jp/english/scholarship/index.html.
