This research project is being carried out from AY2011 to 2013, in which we send our young researchers to overseas research institutes in four countries, namely, the U.S., the U.K., Israel, and Malaysia, with a view to promoting international joint research efforts. By making the most of the research results we have gathered since the inception of CISMOR and by leveraging our unique capabilities, we will join efforts with overseas research institutes to encourage interactions and dialogue among the communities of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and to shape a model of multiculturalism, thereby building further research insights.

* Strategic Young Researcher Overseas Visits Program for Accelerating Brain Circulation
This program is designed to produce high-caliber researchers capable of playing a central role in international joint research networks, thus contributing to Japan’s academic excellence. This program offers support to universities and research institutes in sending young researchers involved in world-class international joint research activities to overseas institutes in accordance with their respective international research strategies, thereby providing promising researchers with opportunities to pursue ambitious research goals.

The "Program to Support Formation of Strategic Research Bases in Private Universities" assists the formation of research bases by private universities to conduct leading-edge research in the world based on the management strategies of each university. It provides both focused and comprehensive aid for research projects.

In the "21st Century COE Program", world-class education and research centers in various academic fields are created at Japanese universities, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology provides intensive support to these centers in order to foster creative individuals and to promote universities that are able to compete on the international stage.
