United Nations/Japan Long-term Fellowship Programme on Nano-Satellite
Technologies 2013

The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the Government of
Japan in cooperation with the Kyushu Institute of Technology (KIT) have
established a United Nations/Japan Long-term Fellowship Programme on
Nano-Satellite Technologies for nationals of developing countries or
countries with economy in transition. The Programme will provide extensive
research opportunities in nano-satellite systems through the use of the
nano-satellite development and testing facilities available at KIT.


Every year this "Post-graduate study on Nano-Satellite Technologies (PNST)"
Fellowship Programme will accept up to two students in the Masters course
(2 years duration) and up to four students in the Doctorate course (3 years
duration). Successful participants will be awarded a master or doctorate
degree after successful thesis defence.


The selected applicants will each receive a grant under Japanese government
(Mobukagakusho: MEXT) scholarship (Research Students) of about 145,000 yen
per month for the duration of their fellowship study (2 or 3 years) to
cover housing, food, local transportation, and other expenses (actual
scholarship amount is subject to change). Each candidate will be provided,
according to his/her itinerary and route as designated by MEXT, an economy
class air ticket between an international airport in the country of his/her
nationality and Narita International Airport or Fukuoka International
Airport. Fees for matriculation, tuition and entrance examinations will be
paid by KIT.
