In-person workshop

In-person workshop will be held at a training facility in JICA Ogata Research Institute Conference Center (Tokyo) in March 2025 (detailed dates will be provided later on this web site). 

The aim of this workshop is to incubate project proposals to address social issues by mobilizing students’ research ideas, identifying 5-6 specific challenges, and forming a team for each challenge. Students are invited to work in teams to draft an initial proposal, a presentation and the way forward to the final presentation.

In addition, participants will deepen their team building skills and knowledge through interactions with JICA and other supporting organizations. Please look forward to interacting with enthusiastic domestic and international students!

Global Workshop (online)

After the in-person workshop, we will propose two online meetings to further improve the initial proposal within your team. For this phase, an additional cohort of 10 international students abroad will join the students. If necessary, you can seek advice from JICA and other supporting organizations.

Final Presentation

In August 2025 (detailed dates will be provided later on the web site), final presentations on the research proposal, research plans, and future prospects will be made at a venue in Tokyo. Oral presentations will be made by each team.
