The Role of Japan in Nurturing Talent in Southeast Asia
In cooperation with Singapore Management University & The International Academic Forum
Date: Friday, February 07, 2020
Location: Function Room, Level 6, Administration Building, Singapore Management University
It is our pleasure to welcome you to the symposium and networking reception for the ASEAN Career Fair with Japan 2020 at the Singapore Management University. With the Career Fair in its 8th year, since Osaka University set it up in 2013 as part of the Japanese Ministry of Education’s “Reinventing Japan” project, we will be this year revisiting a fundamental theme of the fair: How can Japanese institutions and businesses play a meaningful role in nurturing future talents in Southeast Asia?
We are hoping that this symposium would be a place of dialogue and information exchange. There will be 5 panelists, preceded by a welcoming address by His Excellency Ambassador Jun Yamazaki of Japan and an introductory remark by Dr Joseph Haldane, the chairman of the International Academic Forum.
We look forward to seeing you there.
