Education and Science Minister Visits JSPS London Office |
|
|
| On 9th January 2006, Mr. Kenji Kosaka, Minister of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology, visited the JSPS London Office. He was in
the UK to attend the World Ministerial Seminar on Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) in Schools. During his visit to the Office, Mr. Kosaka
received a briefing from its director Prof. Masaru Osanai on JSPS's activities
in the UK. He also met with UK JSPS Alumni Association chairman Prof. Peter
Sammonds, vice chairman Dr. Martyn Kingsbury, and three former recipients
of the Japanese government scholarship for foreign graduate students. In
their brainstorming session, they discussed why, except for among some British
researchers, it is not generally known in the UK that a very high level
of research is conducted in Japan, and agreed that measures such as a web
portal should be taken to introduce Japanese universities and research institutes
to British researchers and students while letting them know that living
in Japan is not so expensive. |
