Goal/Aim
This workshop is organized by the IEICE International Affairs Committee,
with the aim of interaction among international and Japanese students within the fields covered by IEICE.
As an ice break, international students will have a poster session on their chosen topics.
International students in Japan play a crucial role as the future bridges connecting Japan
to their countries and the world. Even today, numerous graduates are working globally.
It is also a great opportunity to make cross-cultural connections with motivated students
in the same field of study.
We hope this will be a chance to find a better solution to your problems in finding a suitable career in Japan.
You are encouraged to develop mutual interaction at this workshop.
The event is not limited for international students, and of course, presentations in English by both
overseas and domestic Japanese students are welcome. We also welcome junior members, such as elementary,
junior high, and high school students, technical college students, and other young students who
would like to participate in the research community for the first time in English.
We hope it will help students to enjoy the cultural exchange.
Please note that this event is also open to attendees as audience.
Not only students, but also school officials, and business professionals are welcome to attend.
We welcome you to join us for networking opportunities with students. Please make pre-registration as the audience.
