Program Objectives
Based on the theme of “Exploring Knowledge to Build a Better Future,” the program provides support to research projects that seek to uncover new relations among people, as well as connections between people and culture and people and nature, and those that bring about a spiritually richer society in which people sustain each other by forming such links. In particular, the program targets research projects with important social significance that adopt a pioneering stance based on flexible ideas that are not limited by existing frameworks.
