The overseas research project is a unique opportunity offered to the students in the Global Engineering and Science Course
to engage in an internship project in their field of specialization at research institutions or companies in Japan and around
the world. In this project, you will, with the help of your supervisor, find an appropriate overseas laboratory in which you
