As the Toyota Foundation commemorates the 50th year anniversary since its foundation, it has created a dedicated website for its 50th year anniversary projects.

The page titled “Now and Future: 10 Years Since Grant Reception” presents interview articles about some grant recipients of the past projects, telling stories of how such grant-awarded projects have since evolved further to play a role in underpinning our society today. 

In the 10th part of this interview series, Dr. Chika Watanabe and Mr. Boris Saez were interviewed for an article about her projects granted under the category of the Research Grant Program in fiscal 2018–"Translating Bosai Values: Investigating the Role of ‘Playfulness’ in Disaster Cooperation between Japan and Chile".

This article can be viewed on the dedicated website for the 50th year anniversary projects.
