This program aims to encourage research on the issues pertaining to science, technology and innovation (STI) policy, and to build a research network among STI policy researchers and students around the world. The fellowship supports up to 5,000 USD for research on various topics of STI policies, preferably issues pertinent to East Asian countries. Research results from the fellowship support will be published in ‘STI POLICY REVIEW’ (www.stipolicyreview.net), an international journal focusing on STI policy issues of East Asian countries.

Academic scholars, policy researchers, and graduate students who study STI policies in any field, are eligible to apply. Graduate students are required to provide a recommendation letter from their supervisors or advisors who may guarantee the quality of research result.
