Under the Sakura Science Program 2023 by the Japan Science and Technology Agency, five students from IIT Kanpur got the excellent opportunity to visit Japan from 23-30 September 2023. During this week-long program, our students had the privilege of visiting the University of Tokyo and Keio University, where they engaged with professors and explored cutting-edge research.

A highlight of their journey was the enriching discussion at the Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Tokyo, fostering international academic collaboration. Beyond academia, our students also got the opportunity to experience Japan's rich culture.

This experience has indeed strengthened academic ties and promoted a deeper understanding between IITK and Japanese institutions. Our heartfelt thanks to Japan Science and Technology Agency and congratulations to our scholars for their exceptional representation!
