Recommendation Program for Young Researchers and Woman Researchers
Wisteria/BDEC-01 Oakbridge-CX

The Information Technology Center, The University of Tokyo (hereafter, “the Center”) offers a public recruitment program for young researchers (40 years old or below as of April 1, 2022, including students) , woman researchers or students to conduct research utilizing large computational resources such as supercomputers and data platforms.
The Center is calling for research proposals for FY 2022. This program is designed for research themes where a solo researcher executes a project lasting six months to one year. Upon screening by the Center’s faculty members, several dozen outstanding research themes will be selected during the year. Selected research projects can use the Center’s computational resources at no charge.
The program selects outstanding projects, which fulfill the criteria as Exploratory Joint Research Projects under Joint Usage/Research Center for Interdisciplinary Large-scale Information Infrastructures (JHPCN), the Center plans to recommend them to JHPCN as Exploratory Joint Research Projects. If selected as a JHPCN Exploratory Joint Research Project by the JHPCN’s Screening Committee for Joint Research Projects, a presentation opportunity may be provided at the JHPCN annual symposium in July. After completion, we have high expectations that the projects will develop into full-fledged joint research projects which expand on the original exploratory research (general, international and industrial theses) at JHPCN based on the obtained research achievements.
