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 11th 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 marks the 11th time the conference has been held.
In addition to the usual theme of “General Urban Policy,” this year we are particularly looking for presentations on the themes of “Arts and Culture, Cities and Society,” and “Aging, Cities and Society.” Why not take part in the conference to deepen or finalize your learning, test your skills, and improve your presentation skills, and take advantage of the opportunity to learn even more?
We look forward to your applications!

Implementation Report
Pre-briefing session for the 11th Policy Research Exchange Conference
On Saturday, October 24th, ahead of the 11th Kyoto-Based Policy Research Exchange Conference (held on December 6th), a pre-information session was held by the student organizing committee. At the session, an overview of the conference was explained, including the schedule and judging criteria, and there was also time for participants to split into groups and introduce their own research, which helped the 80 participants become interested in each other’s themes.
On the day of the 11th Policy Research Exchange Conference
This year, the 11th event, as in the previous year, set special themes related to “arts and culture” and “social welfare,” and encouraged the participation of students and graduate students from various universities, as well as universities with policy-related faculties. A total of 79 presentations (65 oral presentations and 14 panel presentations) were made.
In the 10 subcommittees and panel presentation venues divided by theme, research presentations on various fields related to urban policy were made, and after the presentations, the judges and audience members enthusiastically held question and answer sessions. In addition, this year, a “student evaluation system” was introduced in which presenters listened to other presentations and exchanged opinions and evaluations, rather than just finishing their own presentations. This increased the opportunities for presenters to be inspired and learn through opinions, and encouraged further deepening of research.
In addition, in a student project independently planned by the student executive committee, in response to the passage of a bill to lower the voting age to 18 years old or older in June this year, a roundtable discussion was held in collaboration with the Kyoto City Council Secretariat to consider “youth political participation.” The discussion included nine current Kyoto City Council members. In the roundtable discussion, 48 student participants discussed their ideal image of politics with the assembly members and asked questions to the assembly members, and as a result, many participants said that their image of politics and politicians had changed, and that they felt that politics and elections were something close to them, providing an opportunity to think about how to increase interest in politics and elections in the future.
At the awards ceremony, the results were reviewed and research encouragement awards were awarded to outstanding presentations. The venue was packed with participants, and it was clear that the conference was a great learning opportunity and a fulfilling experience for students.
