2007 Global Seminar Series
Enhancing awareness of contemporary global issues and the role of the United Nations in addressing them.
In the UNU Global Seminar Series, students and young professionals are given the opportunity to interact with distinguished scholars and practitioners from Japan and abroad, and to explore a specific issue in depth through lectures and group discussions. Seven regional sessions (each of three or five days duration) will be held in Japan in 2007.
These sessions are open to university students, graduate students, and young professionals residing in Japan. Lectures may be in Japanese or English, so participants are required to understand both languages. A participation fee covers accommodation, meals and seminar documentation. A limited number of fellowships are available for foreign students studying in Japan.
