Sakura Science Exchange Program (SSP) is designed
by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) to invite young people from countries
and regions to Japan for a short period of time, and to allow them to come into
contact with leading-edge science and technology and Japanese culture, and to
provide them with opportunities to understand each other and to build strong relationships
through interaction with young people in Japan. (SSP website: https://ssp.jst.go.jp/EN/outline/index.html)
Since 2016, thanks to a lot of support from the JST,
we have been conducted our program, "A research program on cutting-edge dental research
with prestigious medical universities in the north Vietnam", to invite young lecturers
from 2 prestigious medical universities in the north Vietnam, Haiphong University of
Medicine and Pharmacy and Hanoi Medical University.
