Summer Institute on International Education, Japan 2026 (SIIEJ 2026) Concludes Successfully.
Summer Institute on International Education, Japan 2026 (SIIEJ 2026), held over two days on August 5 (Wednesday) and 6 (Thursday), 2026, has successfully concluded with a record-high 488 participants attending in person and approximately 145 participating online.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone at J. F. Oberlin University’s Shinjuku Campus for providing the venue. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the members of the Organizing Committee, as well as all presenters of the sessions and workshops and the guests of the Opening Event, for their invaluable support and cooperation.
Under this year’s theme, “Towards the Creation of an All-Japan Platform for International Education,” the conference featured a range of programs, including a policy panel that brought together five members of the National Diet, as well as Mr. Kuniaki Sato, Counsellor for International Affairs at the Higher Education Bureau of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and journalist Fumio Masutani.
We are currently compiling the results of the post-conference survey and other feedback. A detailed report on the conference is scheduled to be published on our website around October.
Please note that SIIEJ 2027 is scheduled to be held at Kanda University of International Studies in Chiba. While the official dates have not yet been finalized, August 3–4, 2027, are currently being considered as candidate dates.
We look forward to seeing you again next year in Makuhari, Chiba!
Thank you once again for your continued support and cooperation.
