Stellar Science Foundation: New opportunities for research collaboration with Japan

We invite you to join our information session at UCSF Mission Bay campus with Iris Jiang, Hodaka Kokeguchi, and Masame Terushita from Stellar Science Foundation. To secure your spot, register here.

Stellar Science Foundation is a Japan-based organization aimed at building a system that promotes the sustainable generation of disruptive discoveries and inventions by focusing on the power of people in science. We would like to share about a few new initiatives that could be interesting for researchers interested in cross-border work:

• Global Science Scholars 2026 program - Details still to be finalized, but please take a look at the 2025 cohort to get an idea of this 2 year program
• Global Startup Campus International Research Program - New ARPA-style (mission-driven) advanced research program funded by the Japan Cabinet Office
• Big-if-True-Science Accelerator Program - Collaboration with Renaissance Philanthropy and SRI International to train directors of this type of research program
