 In the 19th competition, the number of breakout sessions will be increased by one to hold 10 breakout sessions, in order to increase the opportunities for applicants to make presentations and to further enliven the competition and lead to more active activities.

The theme of the presentation was “urban policy in general.”
Research presentations will be made on policies to solve the issues faced by cities from the perspective of a wide range of fields, including the environment, economy, culture, community, and welfare.


Going beyond the boundaries of universities and departments and seeing various presentations may be a good stimulus for future research.
On the day of the competition, in addition to presentations, the student executive committee of this competition will also carry out a project that students can enjoy.


Also, after the competition, all presenters will be sent a grade report with their scores and comments from the judges, as well as a comment sheet from the attendees of the subcommittee.
Furthermore, after the competition, the winners of the top prizes will be able to deepen their research by setting up a forum for exchanging opinions with administrative officials related to the content of their presentations.


Would you like to present the results of your daily research and learning at this conference?


We are looking forward to your application!
