Publicly Offered Research

Call for Publicly Offered Research for the fiscal year 2019-2020

(NB. Each university/institution has its own deadline for application, usually sometime in October, earlier than the final deadline of Nov.7, 2018. Please ask a proper administration office in your university/institution.)

We call for publicly offered researches in this project, “Clustering as a window on the hierarchical structure of quantum particles”. Each research subject is recommended to be complimentary to the planned researches (Group A01 A02, B01, B02, C01, C02) See the details here.

Each Publicly Offered Research should be done for two years, FY 2019 through 2020, and is categorized into the following three budget schemes; 1) Experimental Research where its yearly budget should be less than 4,000,000 JPY, 2) Experimental research where its yearly budget should be less than 2,800,000 JPY, and 3) Theoretical research where its yearly budget should be less than 1,200,000 JPY. So for instance, the maximum budget for two years will be 8M JPY for an experimental research 1). About 2, 6, and 6 subjects are considered to be selected for the categories 1),2) and 3), respectively, after reviewing the applications. (Also see Table below)

Publicly offered researches are expected to be complementary to one of the planned researches. In the application, please specify which group A01-D01 your research will be complementary to. We also welcome some other researches which may not be complementary to the planned researches, but may fit very well with the purposes of the whole project, having key words such as “Clustering” and “Hierarchical Structure of quantum particles”.
