"Jiyuu" means "Freedom" in Japanese. This scholarship was created in January 2016 at the initiative of Stéphane Sarrade in memory of his son Hugo, the 23-year-old victim of the attacks that struck France on November 13, 2015.
Worth 5,000 euros, this scholarship will support a student wishing to carry out an internship in Japan, with the aim of enriching his/her scientific training. It is aimed at a student enrolled in a scientific Master's program (in any field) at the Faculty of Science or Polytech engineering school.

Hugo Sarrade was studying for a Master's degree in Computer Science at the Montpellier Faculty of Science, and was destined to do research in the field of artificial intelligence. He was particularly fond of Japan, a country he knew well and in which he was planning to write his thesis.

Hugo Sarrade was fascinated by this country, which favors the natural coexistence of technological and cultural spheres, with respect for others and the community.

Hugo Sarrade believed that innovation comes from confrontation with other knowledge and different technological approaches.
