🇯🇵🇸🇪 What should the future of Japan–Sweden academic exchange look like?

MIRAI, the Japan–Sweden university consortium, is collecting public comments right now!

MIRAI brings universities in both countries together to build long-term collaboration in research, education and innovation. The current phase wraps up in 2026, and MIRAI is now exploring what it should look like from 2027 onward. That's why they want to hear from all kinds of people about where Japan–Sweden academic exchange should go next.

Researchers and students, of course, but also people in industry, anyone living in Sweden or Japan, or anyone who's ever thought "it'd be great if there were more exchange like this…" You're all welcome! Even a small idea or personal experience can be a really helpful hint.

📅 Deadline: Sunday, October 18
