DFG Office Japan
Japan has always been a strong and reliable partner for German science. Over the last few years there has been steady growth in the number of bilateral research collaborations and, more recently, a rise in joint initiatives for promoting young researchers, for instance through the establishment of German-Japanese Research Training Groups.
The DFG would like to consolidate and intensify these multifaceted German-Japanese scientific collaborations in future. The DFG office in Tokyo will assist German scientists and academics to expand their cooperative activities with Japanese colleagues, while also serving Japanese science as a drop-in centre on the way to Germany.
Straightforward, Flexible Support for Cooperation with Japan
The whole extent and effects of the natural disaster in Japan are not yet foreseeable. During this difficult time, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) would like to express its deep condolences to its friends and partners in Japan and to assure them of its support. Especially in the current situation, the DFG is providing support to German researchers to enable them to maintain their contacts and cooperation with Japan, and encouraging them to strengthen them where possible. This includes encouraging researchers to meet with Japanese partners.
