On March 3, 2026, Crown Prince Akishino and Crown Princess Kiko of Japan visited the Japan Academy Hall in Ueno, Tokyo, to attend the award ceremony of the 16th Ikushi Prize, established by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) to support young researchers. The prize is awarded to doctoral students, and 19 recipients in their 20s and 30s were selected this year.
The Ikushi Prize was established in 2010 after Emperor Emeritus Akihito made a donation to the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science to create a fund supporting young researchers pursuing their studies amid challenging economic conditions.
