WACE 4TH INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM

The Symposium was hosted by Kanazawa Institute of Technology, Japan, from August 31 (Wed) to September 2 (Fri), 2022. Although initially planned to be a hybrid event it was decided that the Symposium would be wholly online. We thank those who joined us to learn about the latest WIL research and practice and to network with colleagues from across the world. 


It is being offered as an online event.

The International Research Symposium (IRS) is an international conference organized by the World Association for Collaborative Education (WACE), where leaders in industry, government and academia, as well as experts in collaborative education gather from around the world to present research and case studies, exchange information and know-how, and build human networks.

Welcome

Message from the President, Kanazawa Institute of Technology


I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the members of the WACE Board of Directors and other related parties for their continued support and guidance.

I am very pleased to announce that the 4th International Research Symposium of WACE will be held in Kanazawa from August 31, 2022.

Co-Op education, including long-term internships, has been attracting attention in Japan, and this WACE-IRS event will have an important meaning in further promoting Co-Op education in Japan. I look forward to seeing all WACE members in Kanazawa, a historical and cultural city that has flourished as a castle town since the Edo period and is filled with samurai culture and elegant arts and crafts.

President, Kanazawa Institute of Technology
