Introduction to JUACEP

JUACEP is an international student exchange program for graduate students at Nagoya University, University of Michigan, UCLA, University of Toronto, North Carolina State University, Polytechnique Montreal, New York University, and University of Washington. The primary purpose of this program is to provide students with research experience, knowledge, and skills at the visiting university, while also fostering qualities such as drive, flexibility, cooperation, and resilience in a multi-cultural environment.

Student Exchange

The exchange students participate as visiting scholars and conduct independent research at partner universities. The duration of stay can vary, with options including:

• Short term: 2-3 months
• Medium term: 4-6 months
• Long term: 8-12 months Nagoya University's partner universities include the University of Michigan and UCLA since 2012, the University of Toronto since 2018, North Carolina State University since 2022, Polytechnique Montreal since 2023, and New York University and the University of Washington since 2024. The main task for participants is to execute individual research projects at research laboratories. Students can earn credits from Nagoya University for their research activities, which can be transferred and counted as graduation credits at their home universities for some students.

Workshop

Workshops are organized several times a year, including:

• Student workshops designed to present students' achievements through the JUACEP program and to explore the research environment at other universities.
• Faculty workshops designed for faculty members to exchange research interests and ideas, and to introduce potential research projects to prospective students.

Nagoya University

Nagoya University is one of the top research universities in Japan, with six Nobel laureates in the 21st century. Located in the Tokai area, a hub for Japanese technology, Nagoya University has strong connections with multinational industrial companies, particularly in the School of Engineering, facilitating both personnel and research exchanges.
