A two-year economic slump in Japan resulted in a sharp cut back in corporate research. The response of the government, however, has been very different. The first response was to increase the number of post-doctoral fellowships for foreigners (WN 3 Nov 95). Now, responding to a recommendation of the Science Council of Japan (WN 19 Jan 96), the government has announced plans to double its investment in research by the year 2000. The emphasis will be on upgrading university faculty and research facilities.
