Hi
I am finishing my master's degree in organic chemistry soon. If there is the possibility I would like to take a 6-12 month "break" before starting my PhD degree, and would be really interested in doing research for a short time period in a country completely different from my home country (Norway). This way I would get valuable research experience before starting my PhD, as well as getting to know another culture better. So I am wondering if anyone knows if there are any scholarships at universities in Japan that would be applicable for something like this. I know this is a long shot, and probably unlikely, but I would be grateful for any and all help.
