RESEARCH DIVISION of the Tokyo Foundation
The Tokyo Foundation works to promote and contribute to the betterment of a rapidly shrinking and changing world.
Created in 1997, our foundation has three divisions. The Scholarship Division works to foster the next generation of leaders. The Public Relations Division disseminates new ideas and perspectives. Our own Research Division is Japan's first totally private, nonprofit and completely independent think tank dedicated to policy research. We implement research projects covering a wide range of fields and topics in areas of 1) economic issues, 2) social and political issues, and 3) international relations. We also conduct international research exchange, seminars and workshops. We disseminate our research outcome as policy recommendations and through publications such as the Policy Research Series, the biweekly newsletter Intellectual Cabinet, a television program called "Policy Vision 21, "and more.
We do not outsource research projects or give grants to outside researchers. We do, however, seek collaborators in areas of mutual interest. The Tokyo Foundation has no connection to any for-profit corporation, industry organization or governmental agency.
