Subject: Information session at UBC from the Embassy of Japan, Japanese Funding Agencies

Dear Professors and researchers in UBC and SFU,

 

Hello.

This is Yasu from the Embassy of Japan!

I hope you are doing well!

I would like to let you know that I will visit UBC again on December 2nd and 3rd with Japanese funding agencies (JST and JSPS) and a national research institute (NICT, communication, AI, and Quantum research institute).

We are planning to have info session for students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculties who are interested in further collaboration with researchers in Japan.

I’m happy if you forward this information to your colleagues and friends and hoping this opportunity is valuable for the research community in UBC and SFU.

This event can be attended online or in person.

If you know researchers and/or students who are interested in doing research or studying in Japan, please forward this information to them.

Thank you.

Best,

Yasu
