UEC Short-term Exchange Program

Japanese University Studies in Science and Technology(JUSST)
http://www.fedu.uec.ac.jp/jusst

This program is designed to cultivate researchers and professionals to possess the research ability
in the fields of science and engineering and to develop strong technical skills of science
communication.
All participants will be assigned to a research lab/faculty member, in the field related to yourresearch or the field you are interested in, to undertake an original individual research study
under the supervision of the faculty member at UEC. This means that, while earning youracademic credits, you will have the chance to experience the Japan university research lab’s life
and work with the local students in addition to gain essential research skills and knowledge.
