Canon Fellows from Europe are free to choose their host institutes and hosts in Japan. The same freedom is given to Japanese Canon Fellows coming to Europe.

Applications can also be submitted by members of commercial, industrial, governmental or professional organisations.

ELIGIBILITY

All Europeans are eligible to apply (including UK, Israel, Turkey, Balkan and Baltic countries).

Applicants should have obtained at least a Master’s or PhD degree within the last ten years of applying to the Canon Foundation. We will also consider candidates who obtained their qualification more than ten years ago as long as they provide further supporting information in their application.

Please note that priority is given to applicants going to Europe and Japan for the first time.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR FELLOWSHIPS

The 15 February, 2021 deadline for applications starting between September 2021 and December 2022 has now closed. The next application deadline will be 15 September, 2022 for applications starting between January and December 2023.

The Selection Committee’s final decision will be emailed to applicants by mid-December 2022.

It is important to note that no correspondence is entered into by the Foundation in regard to decisions taken on any individual application and in view of the large number of applicants, no negative inference should be drawn from the failure of a candidate to secure a Fellowship.

The financial support for Research Fellows ranges from 22,500 Euro to 27,500 Euro per year and pro-rata for different periods. The Canon Foundation gives priority to those who plan to travel to Europe or Japan rather than prolong a current stay.

Applications should be made through our online application form. After registering, you will be directed to the application form.

Japan in the Age of Fraying International Order | Online Webinar

/in , /by

Together with UCD Japan and UCD Centre for Japanese Studies we are delighted to invite you to an online webinar ‘Japan in the Age of Fraying International Order’.

Date: Thursday, 8 April 2021
Time: 1 PM
Registration is required: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/japan-in-the-age-of-fraying-international-order-tickets-143762498503

 

This presentation is intended to explore Japan’s role in the age of fraying international order. It first analyses the dominant trends and issues in the contemporary world: in particular, the dismaying performance of the advanced democracies, the rise of the authoritarian regimes, as well as the Sino-American hegemonic rivalries. Then it moves on to review the current state of Japan and consider the implications for Japan’s expected international role, before concluding on the potential for Japan-US-Europe cooperation.
