 | | Established in 1995 by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture (Monbusho) as the "Research Experience Fellowships for Young Foreign Researchers," the Monbusho Summer Program accepts up to 50 American graduate students plus participants from France, Germany and the United Kingdom. |
 | | The Monbusho Summer Program shares the same primary objectives as the Summer Institute in Japan, but does not offer language training except during the first week of orientation. |
 | | Under the Monbusho Summer Program, participants can work in national universities or inter-university research institutes throughout Japan, whereas in the Summer Institute participants are placed primarily in government or corporate laboratories in the Tokyo and Tsukuba areas. |
