Japan

This is an Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility project of Leiden University’s Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs with Fukushima University.

The main goal of this project is to strengthen the relationship with and increase the participation of experts from Japanese Universities in the course “Case Study Fukushima” (within the BSc on Security Studies). The final aim is to create an international course that is well-recognized within the academic world, that can be used as an example of international collaboration and that can attract more international students. Furthermore, such collaboration, that is an essential aspect of scientific development, can help to enlarge the international network of the Institute and facilitate the creation of new collaboration projects.

In January 2022, Dr. Andrea Bartolucci and Mr. Jake Wright traveled to Japan and visited the places affected by the Fukushima disaster.
