Stemming from the friendly relationship between Kyoto University and German universities developed through HeKKSaGOn (the German-Japanese University Network), this programme—now in its fifth year—supports the next generation of researchers by fostering synergistic interactions that spark new collaborations across cultures and disciplines.
Bringing together early-career researchers from Japan (L-INSIGHT Fellows) and researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Heidelberg University, and the University of Göttingen, the programme provides a platform for dialogue among participants with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and approaches.
Through these dialogues, we hope participants will build lasting international and intergenerational connections that can serve as a foundation for future research excellence.
