Academic Research Grant Project

About Academic Research Grants for 2024(Reiwa 6) ※Application has been closed.                     

Since its inception as a core organization responsible for promoting science and technology in Hyogo Prefecture, the Hyogo Science and Technology Association (HyogoSTA) has been providing financial grants to researchers and engineers that either work or reside in the Prefecture and are engaged in wide-ranging scientific and technological endeavors.

 

For FY 2024, HyogoSTA is again offering funding to various research activities − ranging from creative and exploratory projects run by young up-and-coming researchers to fundamental and basic research as well as applied and practical research initiatives that will facilitate the industrial evolution − all with a view toward further advancing science and technology in the Prefecture.

 

HyogoSTA will be accepting research plans from a diverse range of projects, including ones that will be using SPring-8 and the SACLA X-ray Free Electron Laser Facility, the Fugaku Supercomputer, the FOCUS Supercomputer, and other state-of-the-art research facilities and resources that are available in the Prefecture. HyogoSTA will also actively solicit applications from researchers and engineers that are employees of universities, research institutions, business corporations, etc.
