1. Purpose of the Program
At Hokkaido University, in commemoration of the achievements of the late former President Harusada Suginome and with the aim of contributing to the advancement of scholarship and education, the Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Suginome Memorial Foundation made a generous donation of its remaining assets to the Hokkaido University Frontier Foundation upon the dissolution of the Foundation. Inheriting the intentions embodied in this donation—particularly those of the late former Chairperson Hiroshi Suginome, who devoted himself to the administration of the Foundation—the University has resolved to utilize the donated funds to provide support for the overseas dispatch of early-career researchers with the aim of promoting academic research.
This program aims to strengthen the University’s research capabilities by supporting opportunities for outstanding early-career researchers of the University to establish joint research partnerships with leading overseas research groups or to actively participate in the international research community, thereby expanding their networks and promoting interdisciplinary research. The program is also open to postdoctoral fellows and graduate students, with the expectation that young researchers who will lead the future will develop research skills that contribute to the resolution of global issues.
