Dear Students,

Have you ever dreamed of studying or working in Japan? Would you like to know what opportunities are available to you?

We are pleased to inform you that the Embassy of Japan is organizing an information meeting on study and work programs in Japan on Monday November 13 from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm.

The meeting will take place at INALCO (amphi 8) in person for INALCO and Paris-Cité students and can be followed online for those who are in the region or studying at another institution.

On this occasion, we'll be bringing in a former MEXT scholarship holder and a former JET program participant to talk about their unique experience.

You'll be able to ask them questions about how these programs work, as well as the whole embassy team.
