Organizing Institution: Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) Representative: Dr. Iwao Ohmine (Director-general, IMS) Coordinator: Prof. Hidehiro Sakurai (IMS) Sponsorship: NINS (National Institutes of Natural Sciences) Background Institute for Molecular Science (IMS) is a center of the basic research of physical/chemistry fields in Japan and has a role for the center of both domestic and international collaboration. From 2008, IMS has organized one of the JSPS-JENESYS programmes for chemistry/physics fields. The JENESYS (Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths) programme is based on the proposal at the Second East Asia Summit (EAS), held in January 2007 to implement a ¥35-billion youth exchange program, inviting about 6,000 young people to Japan mainly from the EAS member states every year. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) has launched the "Exchange Program for East Asian Young Researchers." Aimed at promoting researcher exchanges with East Asian countries, this program supports initiatives by Japanese universities and research institutions to invite young researchers (e.g., master's and doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers) from those countries. After the successful three seasons of the JSPS-JENESYS Programme, IMS launched a new post-JENESYS program named EXODASS (EXchange prOgram for the Development of Asian Scientific Society) Program from 2011. Purpose By supporting exchange programs the JSPS-JENESYS programme worked to establish and expand networks with researchers mainly from Asian countries. It also helped to develop high-caliber human resources and to create a regional scientific society. The EXODASS Program basically succeeds to the philosophy of the JSPS-JENESYS programme. IMS provides the opportunity for young researchers from Asian countries to stay in the laboratories related to the basic research for environmental and energy problem for 14-90 days. Through the experience, we encourage them to continue the basic research in their own countries as well as to build up the future collaboration.
