About the Project for Promotion of
Global Human Resource Development
The Project for Promotion of Global Human Resource Development is a funding project that aims to overcome the Japanese younger generation’s “inward tendency” and to foster human resources who can positively meet the challenges and succeed in the global field, as the basis for improving Japan’ s global competitiveness and enhancing the ties between nations. Efforts to promote the internalization of university education in Japan will be given strong, priority support. Including type A (University-wide) and type B (Faculty/school-specific) applications together, 152 applications from 129 universities were received and screened. In the case of type B applications, for which Hitotsubashi University was selected, only 31 out of 111 applications were selected.
