Outline of the event

The 14th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto

This year, the 14th 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.!

Tournament held on Sunday, December 16

On Sunday, December 16, the 14th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto was held at the Wakaokan of Ryukoku University’s Fukakusa Campus.

This year marks the 14th year of this conference, in which students and graduate students who identify problems and issues facing cities and conduct research to solve them present their daily research results.
Fifty-five groups were divided into 10 breakout groups on tourism and culture and gave oral presentations. Both the students who give presentations and the students who ask questions are serious. The enthusiastic question-and-answer sessions and advice given by the judges seemed to have given the students hints for deepening their research in the future.

Seventeen groups participated in the panel presentations. Through their research presentations, many students deepened their exchanges with students from other universities that they do not usually have the opportunity to meet.

In a student project in which Professor Naoki Shiomi of Fukuchiyama Public University was invited as a guest speaker, the image of the city where young people want to live was presented in keywords and sentences under the title of “A to Z where young people want to live,” and Professor Shiomi gave a lecture on it.

And the award ceremony. When the names of the winners were announced in the hall, there were roars and cheers, and the winners shared their thoughts on the presentation of their research as well as their impressions.
The number of entries is increasing year by year, and this competition is attracting more and more attention. From the expressions and words of the participating students, it was clear that they had a great opportunity to learn and interact with each other this year.
