Expatriates in Japan

Our primary aim is to help expatriate (foreign) researchers in Japan in their frequent role as mediators for scientific communication between Japan and the outside world. Any Co-op member employed at a Japanese research institution is welcome to join. This includes members who have applied for jobs in Japan, visitors who have not yet arrived, visitors on short-term contracts, expatriates who are mostly resident in Japan, and former expatriates who have moved to another country.
