In cooperation with Shinshu University, we offer opportunities for exchange with international colleagues in the context of project work or else for the purpose of professional or cultural exchange of at least two weeks. Making contacts, gaining insights into local structures and processes, and valuable knowledge transfer on best practices are just as much a part of the program as meeting the country and its people.
