The Agri-Platform Consortium, operated by the Keio Research Institute at SFC at Keio University (Representative: Jun Murai, Professor, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies and Dean of the Graduate School of Media and Governance), is holding a website contest for agricultural high schools (including high schools with agricultural departments), agricultural colleges, and private agricultural educational institutions nationwide, continuing from last year as part of its industry-academia collaboration in the agricultural IT field. A final judging was conducted for the 57 schools selected in the first round—comprising agricultural high schools (48 schools representing each prefecture, with Hokkaido divided into two blocks, and 5 special entry schools), agricultural colleges, and private agricultural educational institutions (4 schools) (see attached sheet)—and 15 award-winning schools were selected.
Additionally, starting this year, a new French Embassy Award has been established, in addition to the previous Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award, the MAFF Management Improvement Bureau Officer Award, and the New Zealand Embassy Award.
As announced in the press release on March 8, the awards ceremony will be held on Tuesday, March 26, at the North Hall on the Mita Campus of Keio University. We invite the press to cover this event.
