Welcome to UU-A Student Summit 2024

    It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in UU-A Student Summit 2024. UU-A Student Summit is an online international student academic conference in which students from Utsunomiya University and African partner universities present their own research regarding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) online and develop strategies for human resources to contribute to SDGs. This year marks the third UU-A Student Summit since it first began in March 2022. The core theme of this year’s UU-A Student Summit is “Interdisciplinary.” We welcome students from all backgrounds, regardless of their field of study. 

    With the rapid development of international society comes a lot of global issues, such as the climate crisis, natural disasters, health and sanitation, food insecurity, armed conflict, refugees, terrorism, gender discrimination, economic disparities, economic crises, etc. It is difficult to solve these issues without considering all perspectives and working across multiple disciplines. Through this summit, we aim to learn from new viewpoints and consider the meaning of ‘interdisciplinary’ by sharing Japanese and African students’ research. 

    This summit is a valuable opportunity to experience an interdisciplinary online international academic conference. You will be able to participate in programs not only synchronously and on-site, but also remotely and on-demand. You can join this summit simply by creating a presentation about your completed or on-going research related to SDGs. We look forward to welcoming your impressive research, and hope to make the UU-A Student Summit 2024 a memorable interdisciplinary conference.
