The ANRI Fellowship, a grant-based scholarship for basic science research, begins recruiting for the 7th class
*Maximum of 15 selected applicants, each receiving 500,000 yen* *
Independent venture capital ANRI (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Partner: Anri Samata, hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) provides support for basic scientific research in Japan, including research in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, etc. The scholarship program “The
ANRI Fellowship” has been implemented since 2019. *
*We are currently recruiting up to 15 scholarship recipients for the 7th class. *
* ■ Background *
In addition to the Internet field, which has been our strength since our founding, ANRI invests in university-originated R&D startups in a wide range of technology fields such as deep tech and life sciences, and aims to bring Japanese research technology to the world. We provide investment support.
On the other hand, we believe that the research technology that is released into the world is due to the foundation of basic research that many researchers have been involved in up to that point. Therefore, in 2019, our company began operating a scholarship program for students engaged in basic science research, with the aim of contributing to the development of science and technology in Japan. Currently, there are a total of 59 researchers from the 1st to 6th generation at The ANRI.
We have been selected for the Fellowship and are providing support to help with research and development. We are also focusing on community building, which is ANRI’s specialty, and are working on ways to encourage interaction between ANRI scholarship recipients.
* ■ Community characteristics*
– Regardless of the research content, information is exchanged on Slack each term to make it easier to build horizontal and vertical connections
– Annual online research presentation
– An offline social gathering will also be held for 1st to 6th generation students.
* ■ Situation of the exchange event *

* ■Comment from the ANRI Fellowship Supervisor*
*ANRI General Partner Masahiro Samejima*
* I want you to pursue what you want to do, innocently and innocently * Abraham Flexner, the first director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, said, “In the history of science, most of the important discoveries that have benefited humanity have been made by people who were inspired to research to satisfy their own curiosity, not to be useful.” “It was accomplished by.”
I want them to innocently pursue what they want to do, without thinking about whether it’s useful or not.
