The JIRCAS Visiting Research Fellowship Program aims at the promotion of international collaborative research to address various problems confronting the countries in developing regions on a global scale, including the critical situation of food production, the progression of desertification and the gradual disappearance of genetic resources.
Towards this end, JIRCAS dispatches on long-term assignment some of its staff to implement collaborative research projects at collaborating research institutes in some developing countries.
