Title
A new dawn in the land of the rising sun.
Abstract
The author reflects on the COE (centers of excellence) programme launched by MEXT. The COE programme allows for the development of graduate programmes and collaborative research based on scientific synergism, rather than administrative structures. It also finances the graduate and postgraduate education of students. The COE funds, administered by researchers, provides them with the freedom to support research without administrative restrictions.
