Message from SAC Board Chair
Most welcome to the JSPS Alumni Club in Sweden (SAC). The SAC was established in 2005 and anyone who has received a grant from JSPS to perform research, is most welcome to join the SAC and our activities. Would you be interested in joining the club, do not hesitate to contact the board or fill in the registration form.
Please note that the SAC requires no membership fee. The objective of the SAC is to promote scientific exchange between Sweden and Japan, and to exchange information among the club members. The SAC is involved in the following main activities:
(1) General Assembly
It is arranged once a year when all members are welcome to participate. We usually reflect on that FY’s activities and make plans for the next FY’s activities. We also discuss how to further activate our activities with all members, and handle the personnel matters such as who should serve as the Chair and Vice-Chair in the board.
(2) Activity Seminars
All regular members are eligible to apply for funding to arrange an Activity Seminar. A seminar should be one to two days and target approximately 50 participants. The topics of the seminars are open. One or two seminars are approved every year. Participation of one Japanese researcher is supported by JSPS Stockholm Office, and the participation of more Japanese counterparts is endorsed and solicited.
(3) BRIDGE Fellowship Program
All regular members can apply for the BRIDGE Fellowship Program. It provides opportunities for members who have conducted research activities in Japan to come back there for 14 to30 days, in order to sustain and/or strengthen research collaboration with Japanese colleagues.
