Space and Us Symposium & Reception - UCL-Japan Youth Challenge 2024 - 2 August 2024 from 1pm

The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation is delighted to be supporting this year’s UCL-Japan Youth Challenge, a prestigious summer school programme for pre-university students from both the UK and Japan.

Students will attend a series of university-style lectures on a wide range of subjects by academics from leading UK universities including UCL (University College London), and engage in the UCL Grand Challenge Workshop.

Participants will also experience British university student life through staying in halls of residence at the University of Cambridge and UCL.

The programme was established in 2015 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Choshu Five and the Satsuma 19 students’ arrival at UCL.

The Choshu Five were the first Japanese students who studied at a UK university, and upon returning home, they played leading roles in modernising Japan. Since then, UCL and Japan have been enjoying close ties.

The 2024 UCL-Japan Youth Challenge will take place from 27 July until 4 August.

The UCL Grand Challenge Workshop is a feature  of  the UCL-Japan Youth Challenge.  This year’s theme is Space and Us.

The Space and Us Symposium and Reception, taking place on Friday 2 August from 1pm is open to the public, so do sign up if you are able to attend: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/space-and-us-symposium…
