delegates with their dedication in continuing their Japanese studies, and noted their strong interest to pursue further studies in

region. H OPE Meetings have been organized by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science since 2008 to foster such
researchers. H OPE Meetings give opportunities for excellent doctoral students and young researchers selected from
countries and areas in the region to engage in interdisciplinary discussions with Nobel laureates and other distinguished
scientists. The programs include dialogue with distinguished scientists pioneering the frontiers of knowledge, exchanges

2-4 . Exploring Utility as Strategic Tool 3. Trend in number of students dispatched overseas and future outlook
Gifu University’s Third Term Mid-Term Objectives and Plan (2016-2021) outlines the following objectives: “ Gifu
University shall achieve globalization through community-based internationalization and returning the gains of such efforts
to the local area. It shall also promote measures that foster internationalization such as establishing an international studies
in liberal arts course premised on multicultural symbiosis, expanding mixed-type education tailored to both Japanese and
international exchange students, introducing organizations for international exchange students and enhancing support for
job-hunting.” Many plans are currently being pursued in this context.5
A s part of arrangements to achieve objectives related to globalization6, we present below excerpts of four implementation
plans that overlap with the theme of this article.
(1)-1 To promote internationalization of the University, establish and leverage joint overseas laboratories with multiple
partner universities, promote dual degree (D D ) programs, and establish and implement joint degree (JD ) programs by
2019 .
(1)-3 R aise the number of Japanese exchange students and dispatch students to a total of 5 00 or more during the Third Term
Mid-Term Objectives period by leveraging short-term overseas training programs for Japanese students and building
study abroad models.
(1)-4 Promote overseas training and study abroad for faculty, and develop practical overseas training programs aimed at
administrative staff.
(1)-6 Implement mixed-type education tailored to Japanese and international exchange students by examining and
improving English-language courses through leveraging of fall admissions in the Graduate School of A pplied
Biological Sciences and the Graduate School of Engineering, and by establishing an international studies in liberal
arts course in the Faculty of R egional Studies.

Editor’s Postscript
“ Gifu University A nnual R eport on International R elations 2016 vol.2” introduces a wide variety of events
and programs taking place at Gifu University and the world in 2016, signifying active influx and outflux of
people during this year.
“ Glocal” perspectives refer to a combination of global and local visions and insights, and every piece of article
posted in this volume showcases glocal views of outward-bound individuals from Gifu University and inward-
bound individuals to the university
R egional features and characteristics will not disappear even as public transportation systems become highly-
developed or worldwide accessibility significantly increases in the near future.
Gifu University promotes internationalization with its core base rooted in Gifu Prefecture, and returns its
achievements and success to the prefecture. W e believe this is a real representation of going “ glocal” .
I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deep appreciation to everyone concerned in contributing
greatly to the publication of “ Gifu University A nnual R eport on International R elations 2016 vol.2.”
