The “1-day Policy Making Simulation Workshop” will be offered by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Japan (METI) and ToTAL again this year, as a part of ToTAL’s course “Recognition of Social Issues B/D”.
It will be an informative opportunity for students to discuss on-going issues with active bureaucrats of METI by experiencing a policy making simulation from a macro perspective of national policy making, and gain some of the important skills of leadership, such as viewing subjects from a broad and diverse perspective.
This workshop is also designated as one of “event” by “Cross the border! Tokyo-Tech pioneering doctoral research project”.
We welcome applications from not only the students who apply ToTAL course but also any students who do not apply ToTAL course (both of graduates and undergraduates) from Tokyo Tech and other universities who are interested in making policies and roles of METI.
