Japan"s Nobel ploy riles Swedes
노벨상을 받기 위해
스웨덴카로르린스카 연구소가 있는 대학에 정보 사무실을 개설해
노벨 수상자와 staff 에 돈을 지불해 로비 되어 있었다.
Despite such criticisms, the country has followed up this pledge energetically. The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science set up an "information office" at Stockholm"s Karolinska Institute, Sweden"s medical university.
Its function seems a blatant attempt to lobby Nobel medical committee members about the merits of Japanese researchers.
In a world of the quiet academic, such directness is unprecedented. But the Japanese have followed up their information office with an attempt to pay for a group of Nobel laureates and Nobel Foundation staff to come to Japan to celebrate the prizes" centenary.
