Inter-University Exchange Project
The Inter-University Exchange Project was launched by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology of Japan (MEXT) in 2011 in order to develop global human resources who can be actively involved in international society, and develop the capacity for the global development of university education.
While assuring the quality of higher education, the project also aims to support the cooperation of international education among universities in designated countries and regions, that conduct study abroad programs for Japanese students and undertakes the strategic acceptance of foreign students.
