Overview
J-DESC/JAMSTEC provides travel support for the Science Party of IODP Expedition to advance the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) in Japan as described in the following chart. The support is for those who apply for the Science Party through J-DESC, and selected to the Science Party of IODP Expedition. J-DESC/JAMSTEC may not support the scientists who do not belong to Japanese institutions located in Japan or do not live in Japan for the period of each activity.
Notes:
Although JAMSTEC commissions the scientists to travel for the period of the expedition and related activities, be sure to have personnel management and disaster compensation by your affiliation throughout the travel period. Please DO NOT buy tickets before JAMSTEC commissions you. JAMSTEC will basically make a reservation for your international flight.
