FY2020 MANABIYA (ACADEMIC) – application now closed
The MANABIYA System
MANABIYA is a system to foster a new generation of researchers proficient in the three fields of computational, information and experimental science and to develop the new interdisciplinary academic field of “Chemical Reaction Design and Discovery (CReDD)” worldwide. Thus, we aim to form an academic network, making ICReDD an internationally recognized research institution, and discover new research seeds.
MANABIYA Academic
Early-career researchers and graduate-level students from domestic and overseas research centers and universities are invited to stay at ICReDD for 2 weeks (minimum) to 3 months (maximum). The purpose of this system is to help the researchers acquire techniques for developing new chemical reactions. In the course of their study, they are also expected to discover new research seeds. In the future, we aim to establish a brain circulation society where the researchers use and spread the techniques they have acquired at ICReDD.
Please refer to the research topics offered by our faculty members below and read the application guidelines if you are interested in applying to MANABIYA Academic!
Application deadline: The FY2020 MANABIYA (ACADEMIC) application is closed.
MANABIYA Industry
In the MANABIYA Industry branch of the program, we promote collaborations between ICReDD faculty and corporate researchers in the form of consulting and research collaborations.
Please refer to the research topics offered by our faculty members below and contact a MANABIYA representative if you are interested in MANABIYA Industry!
