The Sumitomo Foundation is a non-profit organization established on September 25, 1991, by 20 companies belonging to the Sumitomo Group to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Besshi Copper Mine in Shikoku, Japan. The Foundation's goal is to contribute to the improvement of human society by garnering community support. Currently, the Foundation's grants are awarded to projects that address or solve pressing human issues such as culture, the environment, and support basic scientific research and international exchange.
Over the years, the Foundation has supported the University's scientists through its Japan-related research project program (1-2 research projects are funded each year). To further expand funding opportunities for the University's scientists, during the Foundation's representative visit to Vietnam, the University invited Mr. Koichi Ishizuka, the Foundation's executive officer, to give a presentation on the Foundation and research funding opportunities for 2016, as follows:
- Time: 13:30 on June 13, 2016 (Monday)
- Location:Meeting Room 506, Building E
We kindly request that heads of units inform their staff about and encourage their attendance at this event. For any information regarding the presentation, please contact the Scientific Research Management Department via email:mrhaidoan1204@gmail.com.
