Enhancement of Research Performance
CRC-MS Award
Overview
The Core Research Cluster for Materials Science at Tohoku University (hereinafter
referred to as "CRC-MS") has established the Core Research Cluster for Materials Science Award
(hereinafter referred to as "CRC-MS Award") in 2021. Purpose of the award to honor young researchers
who have conducted research and development based on their own initiative in the field of materials
science in the broad definition of the term, and who have produced excellent academic or industrial
application results, and to encourage further development of their research.
The applicant must
be engaged in materials science research in the broad definition at the Tohoku University, and it
must be less than 13 years after obtaining a doctoral degree. From the perspective of diversity and
inclusion, consideration for interruption of research due to life events such as childcare or
nursing care has been added to the limit on the maximum number of years after obtaining a degree
