About the Program
IMS promotes pioneering and outstanding research by young scientists as a core academic organization in Japan. IMS trains graduate students in the Departments of Structural Molecular Science and Functional Molecular Science, Graduate School of Physical Sciences, the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI). By virtue of open seminars in each research division, Colloquiums and the Molecular Science Forum to which speakers are invited from within Japan and all over the world, as well as other conferences held within IMS, graduate students have regular opportunities to be exposed to valuable information related to their own fields of research as well as other scientific fields. Graduate students can benefit from these liberal and academic circumstances, all of which are aimed at extending the frontiers of fundamental molecular science and to facilitate their potential to deliver outstanding scientific contributions. For more details on the Departments of Structural Molecular Science and Functional Molecular Science, young scientists are encouraged to visit IMS through many opportunities such as the IMS Open Campus in May, Graduate-School Experience Program (Taiken Nyugaku) in August, Open Lectures in summer and winter, etc.
