The "EU Studies Summer Course" organized by the Kyushu University EU Centre (Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, Kyushu), which had been held every year during the summer vacation, was conducted online for 3 days from 6 to 8 September 2022 due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. 10 students (2 graduate students and 8 undergraduate students) from 5 universities in Japan, including 3 international students, intensively studied about the EU during the course.
The lectures were provided by teachers who lead EU studies in each field, and some lectures were also given in English. As in the previous year, the content of the programme was enhanced with pre-study assignments to support efficient online learning. The course was designed to enable students to acquire basic knowledge before the start of the programme and to engage in discussions from a more in-depth perspective during the actual three-day programme. A "Certificate of Completion" was sent to each student at the conclusion of the course. 
Lecturers: Prof. Kenji Iwata (Director of Kyushu University EU Centre); Prof. Mark Fenwick (Kyushu University); Prof. Tamio Nakamura (Waseda University); Prof. Yuichi Morii (University of Tokyo); Lecturer, Haruka Takasaki (Toyo Eiwa Jogakuin University); Ms Machiko Hachiya (Advisor to the Kyushu University EU Centre); Mr Shintaro Nakagawa (European Affairs Bureau, Ministry of Foreign Affairs).
