Business overview
The aim of the event is to provide an opportunity for students who are conducting research to identify and solve urban issues to make a presentation, as well as to have a forum for research exchange with faculty members, so that they can present their results and deepen their own research. Outstanding presentations are awarded research encouragement prizes (Kyoto Prefectural Governor’s Award, Kyoto Mayor’s Award, University Consortium Kyoto Chairman’s Award, Japan Association for Public Policy Studies Award, etc.).
Event Outline
The 10th Kyoto Policy Research Exchange Conference
The Policy Research Exchange Conference began in 2005 as a forum for students who identify problems and issues facing cities and conduct research to solve them to present the results of their daily research. This year marked the 10th anniversary of the conference.
In addition to the usual theme of “General Urban Policy,” this year we called for presentations on the themes of “Urban Policy Utilizing Arts and Culture” and “Urban Policy for Achieving Work-Life Balance.” We received approximately 70 applications, and on the day of the conference, students from a variety of universities and graduate schools will make policy proposals and share information from a variety of perspectives.
Why not take the opportunity to see and hear the presentations for yourself and gain new insights?
Attending is free and no registration is required. We look forward to seeing you there!

Implementation Report
10th Policy Research Exchange Conference Preliminary Exchange Meeting
On Saturday, October 25th, prior to the 10th Kyoto-Based Policy Research Exchange Conference (held on December 7th), the student organizing committee held a pre-event networking event to provide a forum for presenters to interact with each other.
At the event, the 59 participants gradually became acquainted with each other through self-introductions and games, and shared the contents of their own research in a friendly atmosphere, which sparked interest among presenters in each other’s themes and deepened exchanges across university boundaries.
On the day of the 10th Policy Research Exchange Conference
This year’s conference, which marks the 10th anniversary of the event, encouraged participation not only from universities and graduate schools with policy-related faculties, but also from students and graduate students from a variety of universities, with a total of 64 presentations (55 oral presentations and 9 panel presentations).
In the 10 subcommittees and panel presentation venues, which were divided by theme, research presentations on various fields related to urban policy were followed by questions from the judges, and the presenters responded with nervous expressions. It also seemed that listening to presentations by students from different universities who are researching the same field was a good opportunity for the presenters to be inspired by each other. In
addition, on the day of the event, the student executive committee that runs the event also held an event called “Let’s think about the triple win with Kyoto vegetables!”, where two guest speakers (producers and sellers) gave talks and participants (consumers) discussed the future of Kyoto vegetables.
At the awards ceremony held at the end of the conference, the results of the judging were reviewed, and research encouragement awards were awarded to outstanding presentations. The venue erupted in cheers and excitement every time the award winners were announced.
We hope to hold the competition again next year as a learning experience for all students.
