Overview of the business
The purpose of this program is to provide opportunities for students who are conducting research to identify and solve the problems faced by cities to make presentations, as well as to provide opportunities for research exchange including faculty members, to present their results and deepen their own research. Excellent presentations receive research encouragement awards (Kyoto Prefectural Governor's Award, Kyoto Mayor's Award, University Consortium Kyoto President's Award, Japan Society for Public Policy Award, etc.).
Outline of the event
The 15th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto
This year, the 15th edition of the conference since fiscal 2005, is "Urban Policy in General" and a wide range of research presentations are invited on policies to solve urban issues from various perspectives such as the environment, economy, culture, community, and welfare. Why don't you deepen exchanges among students not only at universities and graduate schools with policy faculties, but also beyond the boundaries of universities and seminars, and propose policy proposals and disseminate information about the results of daily research and learning to local communities?
We look forward to hearing your presentations!

Sunday, December 15
On Sunday, December 15, the 15th Policy Research Exchange Conference from Kyoto was held at the Wakaikan on the Fukakusa Campus of Ryukoku University.
This year marks the 15th time that students and graduate students who identify problems and issues faced by cities and conduct research to solve them present their research results, and more than 500 visitors have visited the event.
Sixty-eight groups were divided into 10 subcommittees to give oral presentations, and both the students who gave presentations and the students who asked questions were serious. The enthusiastic question-and-answer session and advice from the judges seemed to give the students hints for deepening their research in the future.
Sixteen groups participated in the panel presentation. Through research presentations, many students deepened exchanges with students from other universities who they rarely have the opportunity to meet.
The theme of the 15th competition was "AI and Our Changing Future," and science writer Kaoru Takeuchi was invited to give a lecture. We provided an opportunity to think about how humans and AI can coexist and how to maximize the best of both humans and AI, what abilities only humans have and what they can do, and where they can make use of the strengths of AI.
And the award ceremony. When the names of the award winners were announced in the hall, there was a roar and cheer, and the award winners shared their thoughts on this research presentation along with their impressions.
The number of entries is increasing year by year, and this tournament is attracting more and more attention. From the expressions and words of the participating students, it was clear that they had great opportunities for learning and exchange this year as well.
