Scholarship - call for applications (last update: May 2013)
Aim
The European Association of Japanese Resource Specialists (EAJRS) especially wishes to encourage
the participation of librarians and young scholars from Eastern Europe and/or institutions that have
seldom or never attended an EAJRS conference. Therefore, the Bulac, host institution for the
conference in 2013, applied for funding from the Japan Foundation to cover the costs of travel and
accommodation for the duration of the conference for persons with limited means. The funding has
been approved by the Japan Foundation.
Therefore the Bulac and the EAJRS would like to offer six scholarships, which will include
 travel expenses up to a maximum of 400 Euro
 accommodation for five nights, up to a maximum of 140 Euro per night
Eligibility
Librarians or museum curators working in an institution that holds materials related to Japan and
young scholars, who are associated with an institution that offers courses in Japanese studies and
who are conducting research on a Japan related topic, are eligible. Preference will be given to
applicants from European, especially Eastern European countries. Applicants will be required to give
a talk at the conference introducing either, their institution and its holdings, collections etc. or their
present research, which should preferably relate to resources in the Japanese language. All
applicants should have sufficient language skills in English and Japanese, as the conference languages
are English and Japanese without simultaneous interpretation.
