As Japanese used to study at what was seen as the fount of all knowledge, the US, a few years ago, so would-be technologists from all around the world want to study with Japanese companies, reports Newsbytes: for five years, Hitachi Ltd has admitted 10 foreign doctorate holders a year, but will raise the number of places to 30 this year; Toshiba Corp has been taking two British doctors a year but has raised the number of places to 15; NEC Corp has 26 foreign researchers in residence, and will take on another 10 this month, but Fujitsu Ltd at present has no such programme.
