IDEAS

13 Japanese students and 17 overseas fellows (including CLMV fellows for Capacity building activity of ERIA: (Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia)) from 154 Asian countries have joined IDEAS for the 2009-2010 program.
About half of the classes are joint with Japanese students.
Overseas fellows study basic Japanese language besides the core courses.

IDEAS organizes several field trips during the course. For 2009-2010 program, we visited Ichihara City (Chiba Prefecture), Joetsu City (Niigata Prefecture), Hiroshima and Kyoto. It is a rare opportunity to study various aspects of Japanese society such as the system of agriculture, role of local government and the situation of traditional industries.

IDEAS invites professors from universities abroad or International organization for one-week intensive lecture.
Fellows are asked to do their assignments and presentations on the final day.

This one-day program is held with the cooperation of Chiba Prefecture government.
Fellows visit high schools to teach some topics on their countries.
It is a good opportunity to know the system of Japanese education.

As of March, 2010, 280 overseas fellows from 90 governmental organizations in 19 Asian countries have studied at IDEAS. Most of them are now working in Asian countries. We keep this network by sending IDEAS newsletter by E-mail.
