Suzuki Foundation supports young researchers with Japanese scholarship programme

Since 2006, the Suzuki Foundation has been providing research scholarships to young researchers at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), enabling participants to conduct scientific work in Japan for 6-12 months. The aim of the programme is to support high-quality engineering research and strengthen international knowledge sharing in fields such as electronics, electrotechnology, machine engineering and engineering informatics.

The scholarship programme is based on a long-term cooperation framework between BME and Shizuoka University in Japan, which has provided a stable foundation for the development of joint research and education relationships for many years. As an important milestone in the partnership, professors and students from the host university in Japan visited the factory in Esztergom for the second time, where they were able to see the vehicle manufacturing processes at Magyar Suzuki first-hand.

The Suzuki Foundation’s initiative also demonstrates that international cooperation plays a key role in shaping the technical solutions of the future and in enabling young researchers to enrich their knowledge with a global perspective at the beginning of their careers.
