We are making a call for applications for students (primarily graduate students) to participate in sustainable campus activities as part of the joint research project ‘Sustainable Campus Project’ (from herein referred to as SCP) at one of the member universities of IARU (International Alliance of Research Universities), one of the international associations of universities to which the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) belongs. The host university for 2017 will be University of Cambridge (CAM). Students will work closely with professionals at the host university (CAM) to support the development and implementation of campus sustainability projects or conduct work relating to projects common throughout the IARU member universities. Furthermore, students will take part in activities of the TSCP Office (UTokyo Sustainable Campus Project) and support the activities of the inbound student within the University.
IARU, the International Alliance of Research Universities, is an international research association of ten world-class research universities, including the University of Tokyo. Within this framework, collaborative research among member universities, researcher and student exchanges and faculty exchange takes place.
