15-580: In 1986, Japanese scientists, supported by the Japanese Prime Minister's Council for Science and Technology, conducted a feasibility study to explore international collaboration in basic research. Subsequent discussions involving scientists from G7 summit nations and the European Union led to the "London Wise Men's Conference" in April 1987, endorsing the idea. Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone proposed

60-442: A program of support for international collaboration and to foster early career scientists in a global context. The HFSP Nakasone Award is designed to recognise scientists who have undertaken frontier-moving research, including technological breakthroughs, which has advanced biological research. Both senior and junior scientists are eligible and peer-recognised excellence is the major criterion. The award can be made to an individual or

75-649: A team of scientists. Award winners receive an unrestricted research grant of USD 10,000, a medal and personalised certificate. The award ceremony is held at the annual HFSP Awardees Meeting where the award winners are expected to deliver the HFSP Nakasone Lecture.

The organization offers Research grants , which encourage collaboration among scientists globally. These grants come in two types: Research Grants - Early Career and Research Grants - Program. Postdoctoral Fellowships cater to individuals seeking experience in foreign labs, especially those early in their careers exploring different research fields. Fellows can also use these opportunities to establish independent research labs in their home countries. Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships are designed for postdocs with Ph.D. degrees in

180-684: The United States The African helmeted turtle ( Pelomedusa subrufa ) is a species of side-necked terrapin in the family Pelomedusidae . The species naturally occurs in fresh and stagnant water bodies throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa, and in southern Yemen. It is omnivorous , with its diet consisting mainly of aquatic invertebrates, small fish, and vegetation. It is typically a small turtle, with most individuals being less than 20 centimetres (7.9 inches) in straight carapace length. The female lays two to ten eggs on average, normally during late spring and early summer. The eggs are placed in
