The International Exchange Committee of the Japan Association of National Universities has compiled a proposal entitled "Future International Exchange in the wake of the Corona Disaster" and notified the presidents of each national university.With a view to online exchanges with overseas universities, studying abroad by Japanese students, and accepting foreign students, we are proposing to solve the restrictions of corona damage by utilizing digital technology.

 According to the Japan Association of National Universities, the proposal emphasizes that the global travel restrictions caused by the corona sickness have had a major impact on the international exchange, study abroad, and acceptance of international students that each university has been working on.In the future, it is necessary to build a new model of international exchange in anticipation of the gradual revival of human traffic.

 He said that online education utilizing the latest digital technology should play an important role in this, and that online study abroad and acceptance of international students should be considered.It is recommended that the expansion of on-demand lessons should be considered by referring to the case where co-learning using zoom etc. is expanding between the United States and European countries.

 He pointed out the importance of gradually increasing study abroad and acceptance of international students in line with the revival of traffic, and at the same time promoting online study abroad and acceptance of international students.In line with this, we are requesting efforts to introduce flexible academic backgrounds such as combined use of fall enrollment and to review internationalization strategies.
