Dans le cadre de mes travaux de thèse, portants sur l’étude et la conception d'une cavité Fabry-Perot de haute finesse, la JSPS et KEK m’ont offert le cadre idéal afin de développer ma recherche. Mon projet, dans ce cadre, était de développer une technique de compensation thermique des déformations des miroirs de la cavité dans le but de gagner en puissance. C’est ainsi avec le soutien de mon laboratoire d’accueil, du professeur Terunuma et de toute l’équipe sur place que j’ai pu parvenir à un résultat qui dépassait finalement nos attentes. Et cela dans d’excellentes conditions de travail: matériel et techniques de pointes, encadrement rigoureux et efficace, cadre de travail idéal et échanges riches et motivants. Si cette expérience de recherche est déjà exceptionnelle, elle n’est en soit qu’une partie de l’extraordinaire aventure qu’est le Summer Program de la JSPS! D’une part, car les occasions sont très rares de pouvoir partir plus de deux mois dans d’aussi bonnes conditions: bourse, prise en charge sans faille (avant même le départ et jusqu’au retour), semaine d’ « éveil » à la culture et à la langue japonaise, etc. D’autre part, car elle m’a permis de découvrir le Japon. J’ai ainsi pu savourer une culture fascinante et inédite, des temples et Buddhas au Game Center en passant par le Macha, le Tonkatsu et autres délicieuses découvertes dont recèle la cuisine nippone; explorer des paysages merveilleux et d’une diversité inouïe, de l’éclectisme de Tôkyô à la sérénité des berges de la Kamo à Kyôto, en passant par l’ascension du Mont Tsukuba; d’aller à la rencontre d’une population dont la délicatesse n’est pas un mythe, mais bien un art de vivre. Enfin, ce séjour au Japon s’est déroulé sous les auspices de l’amitié, que j’ai pu tisser dès l’aéroport avec mes compagnons de voyage, mais aussi tout au long de cette magnifique aventure dont je reviens plein de souvenirs inoubliables. En conclusion: Foncez! Summer Program Message from JSPS OG -Summer Program Name: Ms. Estelle DEGOUYS Affiliation: Duration in Japan: Ph.D. Student, Université Paris Ⅷ June - August 2015 Host institution in Japan: Ritsumeikan University Research subject: Urban Studies Ce séjour au Japon fut pour moi le quatrième, dix ans exactement après le premier. C’était avec un immense plaisir et beaucoup d’émotion que j’ai retrouvé ce pays qui m’avait tant manqué. Le Summer Program de la JSPS m’a ainsi permis d’associer mon attachement au Japon avec mes recherches dans le cadre de mes travaux de thèse. Ayant par le passé travaillé sur le sans-abrisme dans l’espace public tokyoïte, cela m’a aussi permis de retourner, non sans émotion, sur les traces de mes toutes premières enquêtes de terrain. Ces deux mois passés au Japon m’ont permis de découvrir et de concentrer mon travail de terrain sur la ville de Kyôto, où je posais mes valises pour la première fois. J’en ai à présent de magnifiques souvenirs, en particulier sur les rives de la Kamo, rivière qui traverse la ville en son cœur, et dans le paisible voisinage du Daitoku-ji, où je résidais. Dans le cadre de mes recherches, j’ai pu bénéficier du soutien de mon chercheur-hôte, le professeur Yano (Ritsumeikan/Art Research Center) et parcourir la ville de Kyoto afin de « demander mon chemin ». Car c’est en effet ce en quoi consistait mon enquête de terrain: définir les stratégies utilisées par les piétons pour parcourir la ville, en faire l’expérience et enfin la transmettre à autrui. Mes travaux de thèse ont en effet pour objet le réseau des voies en milieu urbain, la permanence de ce réseau, son adaptation et son actualisation, tant dans sa géométrie que dans sa pratique. Je cherche ainsi à apprécier cet objet qu’est le réseau viaire, d’abord par la lecture de sa structure dans son épaisseur temporelle, puis au travers des stratégies de déplacements piétons dont il est le support. Mon objectif est d’établir un lien entre la structure primitive du réseau viaire et les pratiques contemporaines qui s’y ancrent. Dans ce but, j’ai aussi pu partir à la découverte de villes et villages de la côte est du Tohoku, depuis Hachinohe jusqu’à Sendai. J’ai ainsi pu questionner les municipalités ainsi que les habitants sur les stratégies utilisées pour l’évacuation de la population en cas de catastrophes naturelles, telles que lors du tsunami de 2011. Ce séjour a également été l’occasion de m’immerger dans la tradition du festival de Gion, auquel j’ai participé en assurant l’accueil des visiteurs pour la visite du Fune-Hôkô ainsi qu’en aidant au développement d’une application destinée à décrire les chars et leur histoire aux visiteurs étrangers. Enfin, le Summer Program m’a permis des rencontres et amitiés extraordinaires, en particulier parmi les autres français participant au programme. Car la JSPS ne nous offre pas là uniquement l’occasion d’effectuer nos recherches dans un cadre très favorable ni de découvrir un pays magnifique, elle nous permet de vivre une aventure humaine inoubliable. En ce sens, je ne peux qu’encourager les intéressés à postuler à ce programme! 11 12 Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (Short-term) Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (Short-term) http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-fellow/application.html ■Purpose The purpose of this program is to provide opportunities for young pre-/post-doctoral researchers from Europe, the US and Canada to conduct, under the guidance of their hosts, cooperative research with leading research groups in Japanese universities and other institutions.

Message from JSPS OB -Invitation Fellowship Program (Long-term) Name: Affiliation: Duration in Japan: Host institution in Japan: Research subject: Dr. Morgan MAGNIN Associate Professor, École Centrale de Nantes/IRCCyN June 2014 - March 2015 National Institute of Informatics Building Resilient Dynamic Models through the Logical Analysis of Key Properties When I was a kid, many Japanese series (like Astro Boy) were broadcasted on French TV. The key role of science in the stories was striking. It participated to my wish, some decades after, to build collaborations with Japanese scientists. After having initiated some common works with my host researcher, Pr. Katsumi Inoue, JSPS fellowship really allowed me to set this collaboration on a higher level. Being able to live daily life in a research lab is totally different from having only sporadic meeting occasions. The core of my fellowship addressed resilience, which is a crucial concept in many dynamic systems, whatever their nature (real-time, biological, logistics) is. This notion is critical in order to design a system reactive enough to face various, but major, changes in its environment: at an organizational level, this can be the security logistics in case of an earthquake; in biology, the functionality of circadian rhythm confronted to a wide range of perturbations. During my JSPS research stay, we have been able to contribute to the design of a logical framework for assessing resilient properties in largescale complex dynamic systems. This research, that we achieved to concretize through joint publications, was really motivating in the sense that it mixed researchers coming from different background and cultures. This may sound rather cliché, but Japanese researchers are truly dedicated to their work, yet very welcoming towards their collaborators. I really felt the meaning of the Japanese word omotenashi (おもてなし), i.e., the sense of hospitality so typical from Japan! While English is generally sufficient to conduct research in Japan, I had the feeling that studying Japanese would not only widen my communication capabilities, but also give me a better understanding of Japanese culture. It was really satisfactory to gradually become able to communicate with my environment, in the lab. and outside, directly in Japanese. This 10-months stay in Japan was a great opportunity to explore different topics and open new paths in my own research. It was a life changing experience and I deeply wish to develop more collaborations between France and Japan. 17 18 Invitation Fellowship Program (Short-term) Invitation Fellowship Program (Short-term) http://www.jsps.go.jp/english/e-inv/index.html ■Purpose ■Host Researchers and Institutes The purpose of this program is to invite overseas researchers with excellent records of research achievements for short-term visits to Japan and provide them opportunities for discussions, opinion exchanges, lectures and other activities.
