"Jiyuu" means "Freedom" in Japanese. This scholarship was created in January 2016 on the initiative of Stéphane Sarrade in memory of his son Hugo, a 23-year-old victim of the attacks that struck France on November 13, 2015.
Worth €5,000, this scholarship helps students who wish to undertake an internship in Japan with the aim of enriching their scientific training. It is open to students enrolled in a Master's degree in science (in any field) at the Faculty of Science or the Polytech School of Engineering.

Hugo Sarrade was a Master's student in Computer Science at the Faculty of Sciences in Montpellier and intended to pursue research in the field of artificial intelligence. He was particularly fond of Japan, a country he knew well and where he hoped to complete his thesis.

Hugo Sarrade was fascinated by this country, which promotes the natural coexistence of technology and culture, with respect for others and the community.

Hugo Sarrade believed that innovation arises from exposure to other areas of knowledge and different technological approaches.
