Invitation
How to find us
How are the relations between the European Union
and Japan? And how do Europe and Japan tackle the
global challenges of the 21st century? These questions
take centre stage in the 2014 European-Japanese
Joint Seminar, which is part of an EU-related
programme for Japanese students from Tokyo
University.
Would you like to know more about these topics? And
do you want to experience the atmosphere of an
international seminar with students from different
countries?
European - Japanese
Joint Seminar
The programme covers central aspects concerning
the European-Asian relations and stresses their
individual as well as common interests. Among other
things the seminar includes lectures and workshops,
at which participants from Belgium, Japan and
Germany

discuss the political and economic relations
between the EU and Asia, EU integration as a role
model for Japan and China and sustainable
development as a common challenge for the EU
and Japan,

deepen their knowledge in multinational working
groups,

extend their intercultural understanding.
The programme is a voyage of discovery for each
participant, including valuable intercultural and
experience-oriented elements.
Take the opportunity of participating in the 2014
European-Japanese Joint Seminar! We are looking
forward to welcoming you in September.
