GIGA Program International Workshop on 4th March: "Roles of Asian Countries and Regions in Global Information Society, Nurturing Global Leaders"

As a part of the Project for Establishing Core Universities for Internationalization (Global 30), the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies will launch a new program named “Global Information and Communication Technology and Governance Academic (GIGA) Program” in September 2011.

The program is an international program that allows undergraduate students to acquire degrees by successfully completing course work in English. Intellectuals from home and abroad will hold discussions about what kind of course is attractive for students overseas especially in Asia, and how to nurture global leaders in Global Information Society. The workshop aims for participants to exchange practical information and to build cooperative relationships in order to overcome challenges of launching a course delivered only in English in Japan.
