1. Researcher
First, please find a graduate school/institute at UTokyo and contact the supervisor of that research to see if you can be accepted as a visiting scholar. We do not have a university-wide system to accept a scholar from overseas, so please ask the details at the relevant office by yourself. Please also see "2. Staff/Faculty member".
