A similar program, "Research and Education Power Up Support," has been offered as one of the Keio Infant Daycare Support (KIDS Program) of the Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusionthe since 2021, but it is scheduled to be integrated from AY2024.
KIDS Program can be used to support not only research work but also educational work (this year, the two programs cannot be used together). We hope you will take advantage of it.
