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 12th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto

This year, the 12th 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 receiving your application!

Submissions are now closed. We look forward to your participation in the lecture and student projects on the day of the event.

Implementation Report

The 12th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto Pre-Briefing Session

In preparation for the competition on Sunday, December 4, a pre-briefing session was held on Saturday, November 12 for presenters organized by the Student Executive Committee.
At the briefing session, in addition to an overview of the competition, including the schedule on the day of the competition, precautions related to the presentations, and judging criteria, the participants had time to interact with each other and hear from last year’s winners, which provided an opportunity for participants to improve their motivation to present in preparation for the competition.

On the day of the 12th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto

This year, which marks the 12th edition of the program, we received applications from a wide range of themes, not only from policy departments but also from other faculties and universities. A total of 83 groups (65 oral presentations and 18 panel presentations) who passed the presenter selection made presentations on various fields related to urban policy at 11 different breakout sessions and panel presentation venues.
In addition, during the judging time, a student project planned and operated by the Student Executive Committee of the Games held a workshop focusing on “catastrophe” and “reconstruction that will be forgotten over time.” Through lectures and workshops by students involved in reconstruction support, 21 participants thought about “what reconstruction is” and “what reconstruction support can be done for students” and gained new insights.
At the award ceremony that followed, the Research Encouragement Award was awarded to outstanding presentations, and the audience cheered and cheered each time the award winners were announced. In addition to their impressions, the awardees also commented on the difficulties they faced in writing and presenting their papers, as well as the points they devised, and it was evident that the presenters had a great deal of learning and a rewarding opportunity to create a sense of fulfillment.
