A project proposed by Keio University was selected for the Type B category (ASEAN) under the 2016 Re-Inventing Japan Project―Support for the Formation of Collaborative Programs with ASEAN Universities.
This project aims to nurture human resources who can play an active role on the global stage and to reinforce the globalization of university education. The Re-Inventing Japan Project was established in 2011 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) with the objective of giving financial support to efforts aimed at the formation of collaborative programs with universities around Asia, the US, and Europe that conduct study abroad programs for Japanese students and strategically accept international students―while assuring the overall quality of higher education.
This year, there were a total of 52 project proposals for the Type B category, of which 8 were selected.
