About the International Summer Program
The International Summer Program at the Graduate School of Science (GSS) is an intensive research internship for overseas students majoring in natural sciences and related fields in sciences. This year, the program will be held online.
The program this year will give you the opportunity to learn about the research activities being conducted in the six departments that make up the Graduate School of Science at Osaka University, as well as to enjoy content that will help you learn more about Japan, and Osaka in particular. In addition, the program includes social events to build good relationships with other students at Osaka University. Also, for the students who are interested in enrolling in the GSS international graduate programs, the relevant information will be provided. Participants will be presented with a commemorative gift from GSS at the end of the program.
