Vulcanus in Japan 2023/24 students gathered at Europe House in Tokyo for the Midterm Presentation on 26 April. The 16 participants of the Vulcanus in Japan programme arrived in Japan in September 2023 and started their 8-month internship in Japanese host companies in January 2024. After the first 4 months, all of them successfully completed the Midterm Presentation, signifying the transition into the second part of the Vulcanus programme. 

Alongside the specific assignments performed in the framework of each internship, the students commit to continuous research and observation of a specific Japanese industry or sector based on their academic backgrounds or internships. During this midterm meeting, they showed off the results achieved up to this point. Everyone gathered in good spirits and the event concluded with a small reception. Congratulations from the Centre to all the Vulcanus interns!

Vulcanus in Japan started in 1997. The 8-month-long programme for students in engineering and other scientific fields consists of a seminar about Japan, an intensive Japanese language course, and an industrial placement. Keep an eye out for the next call to apply this November.
