INTRODUCTION

One aspect that needs to be addressed before implementing ANTEP program is the issue of sponsorship or
funding. There are several sources of funding available now and these can be used as far as possible. Thesesources include the IAEA, IAEA/RCA, IAEA/JICA, IAEA/KOICA, RCARO, MEXT, RADA, NSRA. In theevent that these are inadequate other sources need to be identified and this is the purpose of this paper.
The internet was the main source of information. Other than that, officers at the International Division of the
Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation were consulted to get some idea of the current and actual status
of international sponsorship, scholarship and funding for training and human resource development.
In Malaysia international sponsorship, scholarship and funding for training and human resource development
are channeled mainly through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which would then send it to the Economic
Planning Unit or the Public Services Department. If the funding is for science and technology than it would besent to the or the , the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. However sponsoring bodies would havetheir own contact organizations. For example, nuclear based organization would go through MINT or the
Atomic Energy Licencing Board (AELB).

INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP/FELLOWSHIP PROVIDERS CONSIDERED• United Nations Development Program (UNDP)• UNESCO• WORLD BANK
• Japan-World Bank Scholarship• Asia Development Bank (ADB)• Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)• Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS)
Of all the above the most promising is the Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS)－ 151 －

JAEA-Review 2007-029

Third world academy of sciences mission is to promote scientific excellence and capacities in science in thesouth for science-led development. This is achieved by:-• recognizing and supporting scientific research,• providing promising scientist with research facilities,• facilitating contacts between scientist and institutions,• encouraging south –north cooperation between individuals and centers of scholarship,• encouraging scientific research on major problems facing the developing countries.
Between 1986-2002 1606 research grants and 1169 fellowships and associateship in 100 countries. 39% of thiswent to Asia Pacific
FELLOWSHIP SCHEME
The south-south fellowship scheme offers travel grants to scientists in developing countries who wish to visit
institutions in third world countries for the purpose of undertaking research and / or learning new techniquesin scientific research. Host institutions are normally expected to cover living expenses of the visiting fellows.
Duration of fellowship is between 1-3 months.
ASSOCIATESHIP
Associate membership scheme enables competent scientists in the south to visit centers of excellence in thesouth regularly. An associate is appointed for 3 years and in this period visit the center twice a year for
research collaboration. It can be renewed for a further 3 years.
SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC MEETINGSThe Academy encourages the organization of international scientific meetings in Third World countries by
providing financial support in the form of travel grants for principal speakers from abroad and/or participantsfrom the region. Important: TWAS can only provide support to organizers of scientific events held in Third
World countries to enable scientists from developing countries to attend their meetings. In other words, TWAS
does not provide support to individual scientists wishing to attend a scientific event, even if the event is taking
place in a developing country. Deadlines for applications: 1 June for meetings to be held during January-June of
the following year, and 1 December for meetings to be held during July-December of the following year
OTHER ALTERNATIVES FOR FUNDING• Member countries to bear the cost for their own participants• Member country to bear cost of traveling living expenses and host bear the cost of program in host country.

CONCLUSION•MINT relies heavily on international fellowships and funding for training and development of its
personnel overseas•

FNCA is sponsored by Japanese government- A guideline for requesting sponsorship to participate in
ANTEP programs may be needed by member countries. Perhaps institutions or individual are allowed toapply for sponsorship on their own•

Perhaps organizer of ANTEP programs apply for international sponsorship.

•

To earn sponsorship of international organization, individuals must have excellent record or achievementand doing project that is significant to development, especially of developing and third world countries.

ABSTRACTFNCA membership countries request support for their students, scientists and engineers toearn doctoral degrees in a framework of FNCA program. Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology newly starts ‘the University Course’ in the Nuclear Researchers
Exchange Program to reply to their request. In this paper, this Course is introduced first.
There are two kinds of ways to be able to earn doctoral degrees in Japan: One is a student
attending a doctor course in a graduate school and the other is for excellent scientists andengineers, who do not attend a graduate school, to submit their doctoral dissertations touniversities. Next, the doctor course in Japanese universities is mentioned. In addition, thesystem to earn a doctoral degree by submitting a doctoral dissertation is described. Finally, forthe purpose to earn doctoral degrees from universities in their own countries, the possibility ofsandwich program using the University Course is discussed.

1. INTRODUCTION
Vietnam and Indonesia have plans to introduce light water reactors (LWRs) as commercial reactors in thenear future. Furthermore, Thailand is researching whether nuclear energy is a subject to investigate its
introduction as one of future electricity sources or not. All FNCA membership countries have plans todevelop radiation utilization for material science, medical science, agriculture and so on.
FNCA membership countries want to develop excellent administrators such as decision makers of energy
and nuclear development policy, and excellent scientists and engineers in universities and research laboratories－ 158 －

JAEA-Review 2007-029

to raise research activities and to bring up the successors, and hope them to earn doctoral degrees. In Japan,
there are two kinds of ways to be able to earn a doctorate degree: One is a student attending a doctor course in a
graduate school and the other is to submit their doctoral dissertations to universities. The later way is a uniquesystem in Japan and to give excellent administrators, scientists and engineers working in governmental sectors,
research laboratories and companies an opportunity to pursue a doctoral degree. FNCA membership countries
request support for their students, scientist and engineers to earn doctoral degrees in a framework of FNCA
program. Under such a background, Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology(MEXT) newly starts ‘the University Course’ in the Nuclear Researchers Exchange Program to reply to theirrequest.
In this paper, the new ‘University Course’ in the Nuclear Researchers Exchange Program is introduced first.
Next, support systems in Japanese universities for foreign students, scientists and engineers to earn doctoral
degrees are discussed on the basis of our experiences as follows:(1) A doctor course in Japanese universities is mentioned and scholarships awarded to foreign students are
introduced.
(2) The way to earn doctoral degree by submitting a doctoral dissertation to Japanese university is described
and Ronpaku (Dissertation Ph.D.) program of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) is
introduced.
(3) The possibility of sandwich program supported by Japanese universities is discussed to earn doctoral
degrees from their own universities.
2. THE UNIVERSITY COURSE IN THE NUCLEAR RESEARCHERS EXCHANGE PROGRAM
The University Course in the Nuclear Researchers Exchange Program starts from FY 2006, welcomes Asian
scientists and engineers to the nominated universities in Japan and enables them to obtain the state-of-the-art
technical knowledge and to perform high grade research activities, for contributing to build up and tostrengthen nuclear base and nuclear safety in each Asian country. This course is intended for Bangladesh,
China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Japanese universities accept
them studying and working in the following fields for the peaceful use of nuclear energy;(1) Nuclear Engineering safety,(2) Radiation Safety/ Radiation Protection,(3) Treatment and Disposal of Radioactive Wastes,(4) Reactor Engineering/ Reactor Physics/ Reactor Chemistry/ Nuclear Material Science,(5) Radiation Application (Medical and Biological, etc),(6) Operation, Design and Irradiation Technique in Nuclear Facilities,(7) Neutron Science, and(8) Radiological Analysis,
It is required for all candidates(1) to have fluent skills in English and/or Japanese in both speaking and writing,(2) to be less than 50 years old, and(3) to be a researcher of a governmental or public research, educational or medical institute including auniversity engaged in research and development for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. A student and aprofessor are not qualified, but an associate professor, an assistant one, a research associate and a lecturer
are done.

JAEA-Review 2007-029

The candidates should submit the Application Form to the designated organization and person in eachcountry. The deadline of application for the Nuclear Safety Research Association (NSRA) from thedesignated organization is in August, 2006. The results will be notified from MEXT to the designatedorganization in September, 2006. The NSRA will notify the successful candidate detailed information
including the term and the date of entry to Japan.
The successful candidates dispatched to Japan will serve a term of 6 to 12 months and can make use of the
University Course as follows:(1) Asian scientists and engineers, who have already earned the doctoral degree, will obtain the state-of-the-art
scientific knowledge and perform high grade research activities through cooperative works.
(2) The ones, who have almost complete their doctoral thesis, will submit it to Japanese university, present it
and take the final examination to earn the doctoral degree.
(3) The ones, who have high grade research activities, will discuss how to make their doctoral thesis withJapanese supervisor. They can apply to JSPS Ronpaku Program as mentioned later on the basis of their
discussion.
It is necessary to include the examination fee for doctoral thesis and its printing expenses in the budget, if
earning doctoral degree shall be promoted in this Course.
The scientists and engineers, who want to apply to the University Course in the Nuclear Researchers
Exchange Program to pursue doctoral degrees, should inform their requests to
Mr. Hidetaka ISHIKAWA
Nuclear Safety Research Association (NSRA)
E-mail ishikawa@nsra.or.jp,
and prepare the following materials;(1) their curriculum vitae,(2) their research activities including papers published in academic journals, and(3) their abstracts and contents of their doctoral theses.
The NSRA will select the most suitable professor to judge their doctor thesis and contact with the professor,
who will grad whether they can earn doctoral degrees or not.
3. GRADUATE COURSE IN DEPARTMENT OF NUCLEAR ENGINEERING- TOKYO INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY The Department of Nuclear Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology provides two kinds of graduate
courses: (1) General Graduate Course in which the lectures are given in Japanese as its academic language, (2)International Graduate Course where lectures are given in English, so that it is not required for foreign students
to have mastered Japanese. As a general rule, the doctor course program is for three years to conduct bothanalytical and experimental works, and finally to compose a doctor dissertation under the supervision andguidance from their professor.
As for foreign students in General Graduate Course, the recommendation of Japanese embassy in eachcountry is required for the candidates who want to get MEXT scholarship. Since the application system to get
the recommendation of Japanese embassy is different from each country, the candidates should ask Japanese
Embassy in each country the application method and deadline. The scholarship students enter Department of
Nuclear Engineering in Graduate Course of Tokyo Institute of Technology in April or October, but－ 160 －

JAEA-Review 2007-029

non-scholarship students can enter it in April or October.
Our International Graduate Course is now remodeled. The new system will be determinedby the end of coming October and the deadline for application will be at the beginning of coming
December. The education system linked with Master and Doctor courses may be introduced.
The students may not be able to apply to directly the Doctor course but should enter from the
Master one.
In this case, the students can get Master degree within one and half years and goon the Doctor course. The scholarship system awarded by MEXT for the International Graduate
Course will be revised. We would like to recommend the candidates to contact frequently with
their intended advising professor in Department of Nuclear Engineering, to appeal their scholar
and research ability to the professor and to write their three-year research plan for the doctor
course based on their supervisor's suggestion. The entrance examination is judged only by reviewing
the Application Form, the academic record and the score of TOEFL or TOEIC.
4. RONPAKU (DISSERTATION PH.D.) SYSTEMThe Ronpaku system is a unique system in Japan and to give excellent administrators, scientists andengineers working in governmental sectors, research laboratories and companies an opportunity to pursue adoctoral degree. It is not necessary for them to attend a doctor course in a graduate school. They submit
their doctoral dissertations to universities and are given doctoral degrees after they are successful in theexamination of doctoral dissertation.
JSPS supports and promotes the Asian scientists and engineers, who have achieved excellent research
activities, to pursue a doctorate degree from Japanese universities. This program is called JSPS Ronpaku(Dissertation Ph.D.) program. In this program, the successful candidates should complete their doctor thesis
within five years. A Ronpaku researcher can visit his supervisor's laboratory up to 90 days every year.
Likewise, his supervisor shall visit his/her research institute to supervise and guide the student in conducting
his/her doctorate work. The deadline for applications in our university is on August 18, 2006 for FY2007.
Four papers published in academic journals are required to earn a doctoral degree by dissertation (Ronpaku)in Department of Nuclear Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology. The requirements for the candidates
are, therefore, as follows:(1) Two papers related to their doctor thesis were published in academic journal or submitted thereto.
(2) Candidates have such their research activity and ability that they can complete their doctor thesis within
five years.
(3) Their organization supports their Ronpaku program.
In addition, the candidates should prepare the following materials;(1) a list and copies of papers published in academic journal,(2) previous research activities; the field of research, major new findings, originality and related papers
published in academic journals and presented in international conferences,(3) future research plan in their organization,(4) desired future research plans in Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors, Tokyo Institute of Technology,and(5) research plans in JSPS Ronpaku five-year Program including item (3) and (4).

JAEA-Review 2007-029

Prof. Aritomi accepted a researcher from Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), India as a Ronpaku
researcher from FY1996. He completed his doctor thesis and presented it in FY1999, which is the fourth yearof his study. He took the final examination at the end of August, 2000 and successfully earned a doctoral
degree at the end of September, 2000. After it could be foreseen that he would earn a doctoral degree, BARC
asked Prof. Aritomi to supervise the second researcher and he was adopted as another JSPS Ronpaku researcher
in FY2001. Unfortunately, nuclear proliferation problem was arisen against BARC, so that the second
successful candidate could not get visa to enter Japan for four years. He, however, made a great effort tomake his doctor thesis and completed it under the supervision of Prof. Aritomi in FY2004. In the fifth year,
2005, he could fortunately get the visa, visited our university for one week and he presented his doctor thesis in
August, 2005. In February, 2006, he could visit our university for one week again to take the final
examination of his doctor thesis and successfully earned a doctoral degree at the end of March, 2006. In otherwords, the scientists and engineers, who achieve excellent research activities, are possible to earn doctoral
degrees, as long as the professor, who can judge their doctor thesis, can be found and they can visit the
professor’s university twice or once staying for a long term.
5. SANDWICH PROGRAM SUPPORTED BY JAPANESE UNIVERSITIES
Since there are many professors in universities of FNCA membership countries, who earned doctoral
degrees from foreign famous universities, curriculums for lectures have been established. On the other hand,substantial facilities are not established therein as compared with those in Japanese universities. It is desiredthat doctor course students are studying about one year in Japanese university and that they will complete theirdoctor theses on the basis of the results after they return to their own universities. The educational system of a
doctor course in south-east countries is almost similar to that in U.S.A., that is, the students take lectures andresearch about one year after they earn the required credits. In contrast, doctoral researches are generally
carried out for three years in Japanese universities. The different system of doctor courses from Japanese one
should be considered.
The authors collaborated with Department of Nuclear Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn
University in Thailand on future light water reactor development. Prof. Aritomi accepted a doctor course
student of the University for ten months to carry out our cooperative work. His travel fee and accommodation
expenses were supported by Thai scholarship. The experimental results were shared between our laboratory
and Chulalongkorn University. After he returned to his University, he completed his doctoral thesis under thesupervision of Dr. Takemoto, submitted it to the university and took the final examination. He became thefirst doctor course student who earned a doctoral degree from Department of Nuclear Technology in Thailand.
Since a doctor thesis will be made on the basis of the results gained from Japanese university researches
about one year, the professor on Japanese side shall prepare their research conditions enough. It is, therefore,
very important that the research theme and schedule are sufficiently discussed beforehand between the intended
Japanese professor and the supervisor in their own country.
Due to the present rule, students cannot apply to the University Course in the Nuclear Researchers
Exchange program. In the case where needs such a sandwich program are numerous, the rule will be modified
as students are able to apply to this Course.

The number of participants in the Workshop totaled 18 people including 3 observers. The
participants of the Workshop were the Project Leaders, who are responsible for human resources
development; one from each of the eight member countries, i.e. China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia,
Thailand, the Philippines, Viet Nam and Japan.
Project leaders presented country reports on the first and the second day of the FNCA HRD
Workshop. In line with the 7th Coordinators Meeting held in March 1 – March 3, 2006, the themes
and contents of the country reports for the Workshop were as follows:
1. Recent topics in the nuclear field and related HRD
2. Survey result for the 2nd ANTEP questionnaire, and introduction of Programs to be contributed
to ANTEP and Needs on HRD
3. The way of collaboration with ANTEP
4. Financial contribution to ANTEP
Following the country report, presentation on “the methods of covering the fee for sending
personnel to attend the ANTEP Programs by international scholarship/international fellowship system”
and “the support systems for earning doctoral degree in Japanese universities” were delivered on thesecond day.

These presentations aimed to enhance understanding of the existing international－ 191 －

JAEA-Review 2007-029

fellowship programs that may be applicable to ANTEP.

In addition, summary and possible matchingndof Needs & Programs in the 2 questionnaire was presented in order to stimulate the group discussion
for the coordination of matching between the Needs and Programs proposed by the FNCA member
countries.
On the third day, Dr. Sueo Machi, the FNCA Coordinator of Japan, made apresentation on “progress and perspective of FNCA”. He pointed out the importance ofcooperation between IAEA/RCA and FNCA to make effective utilization of nuclear HRD
resources in the Asian countries.
Based on the discussion of the second day, active discussion on the matching of the

Actions to follow the conclusions of WS on ANTEP

1. For agreed program, host country and trainee’s country shouldcollaborate to prepare detail plans in terms of (1) training and research
program by OJT or training courses, (2) sharing of funding, (3)nomination of trainees and host institute/host scientists, and (4) otheradministrative matters.
2. In case of using IAEA fellowship, government request should be sent to
IAEA as early as possible.
3. In case of the MEXT THE NUCLEAR RESEARCHERS EXCHANGE
PROGRAM, applications should be submitted before November 2006 tostart training or research in FY 2007.
4. In case of Australian host program, the FNCA Coordinator of Japan
should contact with the Coordinator of Australia to define follow-up
actions.,
5. For the training courses, detail program should be prepared by hostinstitutes to inform trainee’s country in due course.
6. Copy of correspondence should be sent to the ANTEP Secretariat in order
to inform the progress or status of ANTEP implementation. The
secretariat should inform summary of progress of ANTEP to HRD project
leaders on regular basis.

Appendix 3

Some Points of Conclusion of Discussion on ANTEP
1. Basic concept of ANTEP has been agreed and supported at all levels of
FNCA (MM, SOM, CM)
2. ANTEP’s function• Survey and analysis of needs and possible contributions (offer oftraining program) of FNCA countries• Circulation of these information to all FNCA member countries• Periodical round survey of needs and programs, and adjustment
between needs and programs based on the results of survey toachieve better matching• Circulation of the results of the matching among FNCA countries fortheir consideration• Consultation between coordinators of relevant countries should bedone directly to agree on specific points of training program andfinancial and logistic issues• The outcomes of the consultation are to be reported
3. Next steps- Pilot program(1) Participants here discuss the appropriate sets of needs and programs
based on the first survey at this coordinator meeting (see attachedpaper).
(2) The coordinator of needs side negotiate with that of program side on t
he conditions of acceptance.
(3) Progress of the negotiation should be reported at the next HRD
workshop.
- Development of ANTEP(1) Circulate the revised questionnaire to FNCA coordinators from thesecretariat of ANTEP.
(2) The secretariat will analyze their answers and make a report.
(3) The report will be discussed at the next HRD WS.
HRD WS will summarize the progress of the pilot program anddevelopment of ANTEP for the next SOM and MM.
