The International Priority Graduate Programs (IPGP) seminar was held

Our graduate school has conducted the International Priority Graduate Programs (IGBP) supported by the MEXT (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan) since 2015. This program provides excellent foreign students with a good opportunity to learn and research environmental sciences in Japan, as well as with a scholarship and other supports. To date, a total of 12 graduate students were enrolled at master’s or doctoral courses of our graduate school through this program (including the Top Global University Project). On December 27, the IGBP seminar, in which second-year graduate students present their research progresses, was held at our graduate school. The graduate students and faculty members enjoyed a lively discussion.
