On October 15, Waseda University will host a group of 35 young academics and think-tank researchers as part of the Foreign Ministry's KAKEHASHI - Friendship Ties program.
KAKEHASHI is an ongoing effort to increase binational exchange between the United States and Japan, and to create opportunities for people to learn first-hand about their counterpart country.
Waseda will provide opportunities to consider and discuss two topics, Economy, Environment and Energy, and National Security, led by Waseda professors Masahiko GEMMA and Shuhei KURIZAKI, respectively.
The visitors include specialists from the US National Economist Club, the Congressional Research Service, and the Heritage Foundation.
This visit is organized in cooperation with the US-Japan Research Institute (USJI), in Washington, DC.
Founded in 1882, Waseda is a leading private, non-profit research university based in central Tokyo, with over 50,000 students in 13 undergraduate and 21 graduate schools.
