The Overseas Summer Camp Program is planned and run by the program students themselves, and it involves research presentations and discussion meetings at overseas universities and other educational institutions. In the second term of academic year 2015, it was conducted with Seoul National University (Nov. 26–28; area: mathematics; participants: 4); the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology at Zürich; the University of Potsdam; the Technical University of Berlin (March 3 to 10, 2016; area: organic chemistry; participants: 6); and the University of Strasbourg (March 12 to 17, 2016; area: materials science; participants: 5). Relying on the “robust professional abilities” that they have developed over a period of time in the program, the students were visibly able to achieve “globalized practical skills” due to their training at home and their experience overseas.
