Kyoto University’s ICR and iCeMS (Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Science) held “Kyoto University Chemistry Talent-Spot Jakarta 2024” on Jan. 21th, 2024. This was the 9th event (including online), which the ICR has been hosting around Asia since 2017. The Embassy of Japan in Indonesia and the Kyoto University Yoshida-kai in Jakarta (alumni association) cooperated to promote the event, and a total of 39 applications were received. From among these, 14 shortlisted students from top Indonesian universities, including University of Indonesia, Bandung Institute of Technology and IPB University were invited to attend one-on-one interviews with seven professors. Students enjoyed communicating directly with professors, and the event helped them target their potential supervisors. They seemed to be more motivated to study at Kyoto University in the future through the event.
