This final debriefing session in the last year of Ochanomizu Global COE Program gave us a chance to look back over five years of studies and educational activities and also provided an opportunity to discuss research plans and prospects for the years ahead. Other program members who were closely involved in these activities or who served as project coordinators took part in the debriefing, thus making it a very useful venue for academic and give-and-take exchange in the last year of the five-year program.
