■AY2026(Preliminary Selection) Recruitment Overview

Due to a notice from the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) regarding potential changes, it has not yet been decided whether or not international students will be eligible for research grants in AY2026 and beyond. Therefore preliminary selection for the Better Co-being Program in AY2026 will be conducted only for Japanese students.

It has also not yet been decided whether international students will be able to apply for the Better Co-being Program (SPRING) in AY2026, but we will publish this information on our homepage once a decision is made.

The Guide4AI program for AY2026 will continue to be open to international students as before.
