Spain has great talent deployed in several Asian countries represented by researchers who actively participate in different knowledge ecosystems, among which scientific and technological research in Japan stands out.
A country that offers opportunities for those interested in developing their research career in the different stages of it and that the members of the Association of Spanish Scientists in Japan (ACE) have known how to take advantage of to develop their research work in a country that offers a scientific and technological ecosystem of the most advanced on the planet.
In order to give visibility to this talent, learn first-hand about the link between the research of these scientists and the Japanese country and identify the opportunities it offers for other researchers, Casa Asia, the Spain Japan Council Foundation, Casa Asia and the Association of Spanish Scientists in Japan (ACE) have made this series of informative videos and organized a webinar on November 11, which you can sign up for at the following link:
