Excellent presentations are presented with research encouragement awards (Kyoto Prefectural Governor’s Award, Kyoto Mayor’s Award, University Consortium Kyoto President’s Award, Japan Society for Public Policy Award, etc.).
Outline of the event
The 10th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto
The Conference on Policy Research was launched in 2005 as a place for students who are conducting research to identify and solve problems and issues facing cities to present their research results, and this year marks the 10th year.
In addition to the theme of “Urban Policy in General” in previous years, this year’s theme of “Urban Policy Utilizing Arts and Culture” and “Urban Policy for Achieving Work-Life Balance” was solicited for presentations, and approximately 70 applications were received, and on the day of the event, students and graduate students from various universities and graduate schools will propose policies and disseminate information from various perspectives.

Implementation Report
The 10th Conference on Policy Studies
On Saturday, October 25, a pre-meeting was held by the student executive committee to provide a place for presenters to interact with each other, ahead of the 10th Policy Research Exchange Conference (to be held on December 7) from Kyoto. At the exchange meeting, the 59 participants, who gradually got to know each other through self-introductions and games, introduced their research in a friendly manner, which gave the presenters an opportunity to become interested in each other’s themes and deepen exchanges that transcended the boundaries of universities.
The 10th Policy Research Exchange Conference
This year’s conference, which is now in its 10th year, has attracted a total of 64 presentations (55 oral presentations and 9 panel presentations) by encouraging the participation of students and graduate students from various universities, as well as universities and graduate schools with policy departments, by setting new presentation themes such as “Urban Policy Utilizing Arts and Culture” and “Urban Policy to Achieve Work-Life Balance.”
In the 10 different breakout sessions and panel presentations divided by theme, research presentations in various fields related to urban policy were followed by questions from the judges, and the presenters responded nervously. In addition, by listening to presentations by students from different universities who are researching the same field, it was a good opportunity for the presenters to be stimulated by each other.
On the day of the event, the student executive committee that runs the event also held a project called “Let’s think about the good of the three ways with Kyoto vegetables!”, and after lectures by two guest speakers (producers and sellers), participants (consumers) talked about the future of Kyoto vegetables.
At the award ceremony held at the end of the competition, the results of the judging were critiqued, and the Research Encouragement Award was awarded to the best presentations. The audience cheered every time the winners were announced, and there was a lot of excitement.
Next year, we will continue to aim for a tournament that will be a great learning experience for students.
