Grants and Writing Resources for Institute of Science Tokyo

In August 2026, 55 graduate students gave talks and posters at the 17th Multidisciplinary International Student Workshop on Science Tokyo's campus, joined by exchange students from partner universities across Asia. A committee of three doctoral students prepared and ran the event, and one presenter won its Outstanding Presentation Award. The work of Science Tokyo's students also reaches well beyond engineering. A student who finished a master's in Social and Human Sciences in March 2026 saw a 3D-pen garment of hers acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Fellowships and Graduate Awards

The Science Tokyo Support Program for Doctoral Students pays a research incentive grant equivalent to living expenses, plus research expenses, for up to three years. Students in it may spend more than three months studying off campus, including abroad. A companion track, Science Tokyo BOOST, supports doctoral students headed for top-level AI research.

The Institute's own scholarships page lists the Tsubame Scholarship for Doctoral Students. The overview of financial support adds the JSPS Research Fellowship for Young Scientists. It also covers paid teaching assistant and research assistant posts, which students ask their faculty or supervising professor about.

Presenting Research

The Multidisciplinary International Student Workshop is hosted by the Schools of Engineering, Materials and Chemical Technology, and Environment and Society. Graduate students present alongside peers from the Asia-Oceania Top University League on Engineering, and faculty judge the talks. The 2026 program ran 49 oral and 6 poster presentations.

Where Theses Are Published

Doctoral theses are made public through the Science Tokyo Repository. The library's repository guide explains deposit. Thesis publication itself runs through the Graduate Services Group of the Student Division.

Library Help

The Institute of Science Tokyo Library keeps a Study Tips page for fourth-year undergraduates and master's students starting papers. It also provides reference management tools. Library staff will come to a lab or class to teach literature searching on request, booked through the library's Ask Online service as its Seminars & Lectures page explains.

Our editors work with Science Tokyo writers at the final-draft stage, from seminar papers to dissertations. See our Institute of Science Tokyo dissertation and thesis editing page, or write to editors@editorsforstudents.com.
