The visit must be a single, uninterrupted period. The earliest start date is 1 June 2024, and the latest is 30 November 2024.
The applicant is a researcher who is based in Finland and has close connections to Finland. The applicant is required to have obtained a doctoral degree no later than 31 March 2024. No more than six years must have passed since the applicant completed their degree before the start of the visit to Japan.
