'Study-in-Japan Global Network Project'          (until March 2024)

Since 2014, Hokkaido University was commissioned by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Japan) to implement ‘Study-in-Japan Global Network Project' (Former 'Coordinator for Study-in-Japan project'). This project was to dispatch Study-in-Japan Coordinators to promote study in Japan based on an All-Japan approach and to develop further activities through Hokkaido University Africa Lusaka Office in collaboration with national agencies in sub-Saharan African Activities. 

 

Until the end of March 2024, three study abroad coordinators were on duty under this project at Hokkaido University Africa Lusaka Office.
