-Asia Pacific Week 2010-
In GSAPS, since last year, the “Union of High Level Empowerment of Human Resources in East Asia Program,” which is part of “Program for Enhancing Systematic Education in Graduate Schools,” has received authorization of the project by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology –Japan (MEXT). The goal of the project is “to empower the Scholars’ and Experts’ self-dependence through systematical approach,” which is lacking in the Japanese Graduate Schools. Also, the program wishes “to empower the Scholars’ and Experts’ group work involving high cohesive projects” of European and American Graduate Schools. By uniting the two goals, it will be able to reach the aim, which is to promote the empowerment of human resources into higher level through the union. This year, the GSAPS will seek the students who will apply for ANU Asia Pacific Week 2010 as part of this program. To those students who take all the course work and submit the report, will be offered maximum of 200,000 yen for the travel fee and accommodation fee with credits (2 credits as Non-credit courses offered at GSAPS) for the winter semester.
