Explorer program for the AY2024

This program provides financial support for the students who are going to Asian or African country for language-training, fieldwork, or internship. The program is funded by the Special Research Project of Kyoto University “International On-site Education Program (IOSEP) for Global Human Resources.” Students who have submitted a preliminary dissertation and third-year transfer students can also apply. However, their applications are less prioritized if we receive an excessive number of applications.
