For a number of years, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has acted as the nomination body for the Postdoctoral Fellowships of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). In 2021, the SNSF can propose two researchers to the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships 2021 for research in Japan which enables researchers in Switzerland to stay in Japan for 12 to 24 months.
