The third International Summer School comes to a close
2012/08/10
The Summer School hosted by our Global COE program was this year entitled ‘Borders in Asia: Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Korea and Japan’. It began on July 31st and was brought to a successful conclusion on August 8th.
Our third Summer School was made up of young researchers of nine nationalities. As the lectures focused on Asia rather than the more familiar European or US experiences, the speakers were bombarded with questions, particularly at the session on borders issues within Japanese society. At the end of the program, the participants received their certificates.
The Summer School serves to not only help develop young researchers, but also to build networks, and we eagerly await the participants’ submissions to our ‘Eurasia Border Review’ journal.
