Informal appointment for Hakubi researchers
To foster prospective young researchers, Kyoto University established the Kyoto University "Hakubi Project" to Foster and Support Young Researchers in 2009 and has accepted applications. Until now, strict examination has been held such as applicant screening by the expert committee of the Hakubi Center for Advanced Research and interview by the Hakuraku Council. As the results of deliberations by the Steering Committee of the Hakubi Center for Advanced Research, Kyoto University decided informally 19 researchers who will be hired in the Kyoto University Hakubi Center for Advanced Research.
