  8. Common Issue about the Student Exchange An unbalance exists between Japanese students going to study in the Europe vis-à-vis students from your countries coming to study in Japan.The same happens for young researchers.

  9. 300,000 International Students Plan Points ○ Receive 300,000 overseas students in Japan by 2020 ○ Raise international competitiveness of Japanese universities’ education and research in order to strategically attract excellent overseas students ○ Implement Plan via linkage among related ministries and agencies Measures １．Proactively invite overseas students to Japan ２．Improve entrance exam, enrollment and visa procedures ３．Advance globalization of universities ４．Improve living environment for overseas students ５．Improve post-graduation/course completion services

  10. Global 30 FY2009 budget: JPY4.1 billion/ USD 41 million/ EUR 31 million Select universities to become internationalization hubs that provide high-quality education/research programs and offer easily adaptable environment for overseas students Contents • Create systems for providing English instruction • Improve systems for receiving overseas students • -Advance strategic international collaborations Target Universities Select 13 universities in first fiscal year Anticipated results ・Foster young people who will play active roles in global society ・Strengthen and contribute to raising the international competitiveness of Japanese universities
