Japan Alumni and Researcher Assembly (JARA) aims to promote networking within the Japan-related research community in Denmark, and to provide a forum for Danish and Japanese researchers, professionals and students to meet, discuss new ideas, and promote Japan-related research and student scholarships.
JARA is co-organized by the Embassy of Japan in Denmark, Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Stockholm Office, JSPS Alumni Club in Denmark (ACD), Tokai University European Center (TUEC), and Tokai University Alumni Association in Denmark.
The JARA academic program has this year been arranged as part of TUEC’s 50th anniversary “Quality of Life” webinar series (seminar #5), and hosted by Tokai University.
