Apply to International Internship Program in informatics at NII in Tokyo
As a PhD candidate or master student at KTH you have the opportunity to be a guest researcher at the leading institute for informatics in Japan with funding to cover the living costs.
The National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo has identified KTH as a prioritized partner. Master students and PhD students at KTH are therefore eligible to visit NII and get supervision. Master students can use this opportunity for the master’s degree project.
Students and researchers at KTH have stayed in NII since several years through this programme. The research visit should extend over two to four months and should end at the latest in March 2025. The financial support is approximately SEK 400 per day.
You need to first get in contact with a professor at NII who approves to supervise you if you are admitted. Then write a Letter of Motivation that you send to KTH Professor Atsuto Maki, atsuto@kth.se , who is coordinating this programme at KTH. You should attach CV, indicating clearly any and all past employment and educational history, and also the application form (i.e. three items to send in total). Make sure to read the guideline and do that before KTH internal deadline on 10 May.
Then a nomination will be made for up to three applicants that is communicated with NII. Vice president Stefan Östlund is in charge of this nomination.
NII offers an exceptionally strong research environment. It is the only national institute in Japan in the area of informatics with some 75 permanent professors and many visiting professors. The institute is located in central Tokyo.
