Foreign Researchers Support Services

JISTEC provides support services for foreign researchers, who contribute to the development of Japan’s Science and Technology.

In order for the researchers to concentrate on their work as soon as possible after arriving in Japan,

and to alleviate the burden to their host researchers, various services are also provided to their family.
