OCU Guest Professors
OCU regularly invites Guest Professors from universities and research institutes abroad to hold lectures or participate in research or symposia. Invitations are extended on a case-by-case basis.
OCU Fellowship for Foreign Researchers
The OCU Fellowship for Foreign Researchers was established in 1992 to promote international cooperation and understanding through academic research. Each year, we invite between 5 and 9 internationally recognized scholars from other countries to come to Osaka City University (OCU) and conduct collaborative research. This Fellowship covers the travel and living expenses of the guest researchers.
OCU Fellowship for Promoting Asian Cooperation and Understanding
OCU Fellowship for Promoting Asian Cooperation and Understanding
This Fellowship was set up in 1992 to promote and support joint research between young scholars at OCU and researchers in other Asian countries. It provides a program whereby OCU sends researchers to Asian countries in the first year and invites the participants to Japan to publicly report the results of their activities at OCU in the second year, with the aim of developing mutual understanding with other Asian countries.
*This program was discontinued in 2015
