HSI is a program that brings together leading researchers with proven educational and research track records from around the world, and provides courses in collaboration with HU faculty members. In 2017, more than 140 researchers from over 110 universities/research institutes from all over the world will gather at HU. HSI allows participants to expand their knowledge of subjects in cutting-edge fields of research at HU that previously were open only to students of the university. Program participants have an opportunity to attend classes that employ attractive educational techniques, such as field training in Hokkaido’s extensive land resources and active learning activities, so they can develop into professionals capable of thriving on the world stage. All instruction at HSI is in English. This provides international students with a stress-free learning environment without having to worry about language barriers, and also creates a special opportunity for Japanese students, who can audit classes taught by internationally acclaimed researchers. The university strongly hopes that HSI students will cultivate a better understanding of other cultures and improve their English-language proficiency and communication skills through exchanges with researchers and students from other countries. Off-campus events and field trips are also planned so participants can enjoy Hokkaido’s beautiful summer.

The goal of the YRS is to provide graduate students with an opportunity to better understand the spectrum of challenges that underpin sustainable development. By assembling young researchers from ProSPER.Net institutions for an intensive 10-day programme, the school also fosters the growth of a network of sustainability scholars and professionals in the Asia-Pacific region.
The theme of the 2017 school will be ‘Water Security for Sustainable Development in a Changing Climate’. A preliminary programme outlines the ways in which students will be exposed to issues related to water security in the context of climate change. Students will then be asked to develop research responses to several challenges related to water security in the region. The goal of these responses is to provide integrative solutions that can be applied in communities facing water security issues.
