Support

In these times of tumultuous global change, the creation and dissemination of knowledge and insights about Japan and Asia are becoming more important than they have been in a long time – and yet also more difficult. This is why JFIT has launched a variety of programs, such as the Japan Zoominar and the visiting scholar opportunities, to contribute to the knowledge of Japan and form human connections toward a better understanding of global relations and business and commerce.

Please consider helping us in these endeavors. Your support will strengthen our research and educational programs, and help us grow. Donations to JFIT do not disappear in “overhead”, because we are very small and our fixed costs are miniscule. Rather, every single donation goes straight into the flow of events. With more funds, we can not only do more events but also support Japan-track students by hiring them as program or research assistants.

By joining the JFIT community at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy, you will help build a world-class center of research and engagement that addresses important questions confronting the U.S. and Japan.

For a conversation on how you can help us grow JFIT and the Japan research activities at UC San Diego, please contact Ulrike Schaede at uschaede@ucsd.edu.

To help us grow our activities, please donate to the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology Excellence Fund.
