Closing Date: August 30,2013.
Reinforcing its belief in “people
building the next era”, the Government of Japan offers 20 fellowships per year,
for the twelfth consecutive year, to be awarded to deserving candidates from
developing countries, especially the least developed countries (LDCs), who are
eager to undertake research on one or more of the topics listed below. The aim
of the fellowships is to support innovative and imaginative post-graduate
research in four areas of development of particular interest to UNESCO.
UNESCO designed the project
“UNESCO/Keizo Obuchi Research Fellowships Programme” (UNESCO/Japan Young
Researchers’ Fellowship Programme) in the framework of the Japanese
Funds-in-Trust for the Capacity-Building of Human Resources which was
established in November 2000 by the Government of Japan to enable UNESCO to
give impetus to research in four areas under UNESCO’s Priority Programme
Areas.
The UNESCO/Keizo Obuchi Research
Fellowships Programme (UNESCO/Japan Young Researchers’ Fellowship Programme)
funded under the Japanese Funds-in-Trust for the capacity-building of Human
Resources will aim, in particular, to impact on capacity-building and research
activities in the following areas:
§
Environment (with particular emphasis on water
sciences);
§
Intercultural Dialogue;
§
Information and Communication Technologies; and
§
Peaceful conflict resolution.
