Business Overview

The purpose of this program is to provide students who are conducting research to identify and solve the issues faced by cities to make presentations, as well as to provide opportunities for research exchange with faculty members, to present their findings and deepen their own research. 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 13th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto

This year, the 13th year since 2005, the theme of the presentation is “Urban Policy in General,” and we are looking for a wide range of research presentations on policies to solve the problems faced by cities from the perspectives of various fields such as the environment, economy, culture, community, and welfare. Why don’t you deepen exchanges among students not only at universities and graduate schools with policy departments, but also beyond the boundaries of universities and seminars, and to propose policies and disseminate information to the local community about the results of your daily research and learning?
We look forward to hearing from Mr./Ms.!
