Since FY 2021, Tokyo Tech has supported doctoral students who will play a key role in the future of science, technology, and innovation in Japan based on “Tokyo Tech Advanced Human Resource Development Fellowship for Doctoral Students” and “Cross the border! Tokyo Tech pioneering doctoral research project” subsidized by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology (MEXT) and Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), respectively. These programs have sought to empower such students to pursue a doctorate without hesitation, financial burden, or career uncertainty, and to choose diverse career paths that maximize their potential. From FY 2024, the Institute will continue the basic initiatives of these programs and integrate them into a new program, “Tokyo Tech Program for Development of Next-Generation Front-Runners with Comprehensive Knowledge and Humanity（Tokyo Tech SPRING）.”
This program aims to produce highly specialized human resources who will address modern societal challenges and contribute to the welfare and happiness of all members of the global community. It also aims to equip doctoral students with advanced specialized skills and versatility to independently choose their own careers from a variety of professions. Supported students will each receive a research incentive grant equivalent to living expenses and support for research expenses for up to three years, and will participate in various initiatives aimed at improving their research skills and supporting their career paths.
In addition, as a support project for doctoral students in the field of next-generation AI, which the national government considers to be an urgent national strategic field, Tokyo Tech will start “Tokyo Tech Program for Development of Co-creative Experts towards Top-level AI Research（Tokyo Tech BOOST）” which focuses on fostering human resources who specialize in the next-generation AI-related research.
