Vulcanus in Europe 2023-24 Session: Mid-Term Meeting in Brussels

The 'Vulcanus in Europe' programme offers EU companies an opportunity to host Japanese S&T university students as interns in R&D for a 6/7-month period. By taking part in the Vulcanus in Europe programme, the host company has a chance to gain a valuable addition to its R&D team, a person who can bring in a Japanese perspective and make contribution to the company's R&D projects and needs. Vulcanus interns can also assist the company in the development of its business and contact with Japan.
Vulcanus in Europe 2025 - 2026:  Next recruitment for host companies will be launched in May 2024

On 20 October 2023, the EU-Japan Centre organised the ‘Mid-Term Meeting’ for the Vulcanus in Europe 2023-24 session. On this occasion, 22 Vulcanus students who have been carrying out internships at their European host companies gathered in Brussels. Prior to the internship at companies, each student completed a 4-month language training course in their respective host countries. 

The purpose of the meeting was for each student to reflect on their experience in Europe so far by presenting the projects they are currently involved in at their host companies and to learn from each other. The meeting was also joined by Mr. Koichi Sato, Counsellor at the Mission of Japan to the EU. The students will continue with their internships until mid-March 2024. The EU-Japan Centre would like to thank our European host companies for all the support and supervision they are providing to our students. Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!
