everyone

The International Student Study Kyoto Network (Secretariat: University Consortium Kyoto International Affairs Department) will create a premium experience for students studying in Kyoto (international students and Japan students) to learn about the diverse and profound charms of Kyoto, and will implement the “Kyoto Premium Experience and Exchange Project” as a “place for exchange between international students and Japan students.”

We believe that it is important to provide an opportunity for both international and Japan students studying in Kyoto to develop an attachment to Kyoto and to establish themselves as leaders of Kyoto for a long time after graduation, as well as to raise global awareness and deepen understanding of diversity.

Based on the above, we are looking for a contractor who can carry out the planning and operation work related to the “2024 Kyoto Premium Experience and Exchange Project” through an open call for proposals.

If you would like to participate in the proposal, please prepare a project proposal and quotation according to the following guidelines and submit it by the deadline.
