Each year, the Japanese Society of Psychiatry and Neurology (JSPN) invites twelve early-career psychiatrists from abroad to take part in its Fellowship Award Symposium. The symposium is followed by an international joint meeting at which awardees and Japanese psychiatrists initiate collaborative research projects. To date, these collaborations have produced publications on a wide range of topics, including hikikomori (prolonged social withdrawal), social anxiety disorder, child-psychiatry training, psychotherapy education, and suicide.
In recent years, JSPN has also begun recruiting international members, thereby fostering a continuous network that extends beyond the annual meeting and promotes sustained collaboration between Japan and the global psychiatric community.
This presentation reviews the evolution of the Fellowship Award programme, summarises the themes of past symposia, and showcases the resulting international research projects. It also outlines plans for the coming year’s Fellowship Award, with the goal of encouraging even greater participation by psychiatrists worldwide.
