We are pleased to announce the annual (8th) Summer Research Program in Tsukuba from July 18 to August 1, 2017.

We are planning to invite students from Brazil, France, Indonesia, Taiwan, USA, Vietnam and other countries. Selected students will be assigned to a laboratory within the campus of the Faculty of Medicine or Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences. The students take part in research, attend lectures, and present their research results. During the 2 weeks’ period, both international and our students will have an opportunity for cultural exchange and scientific communications.

We plan to have special lectures and social events. Cultural talks are also planned to provide the students with opportunities to learn about Japanese culture. The students are expected to work hard and play hard and get the most out of this program. I sincerely hope that the Summer Research Program becomes an unforgettable experience for all the participating students.
