JEMARO intake 3 students defend their thesis at Keio University

And that's a wrap! After having spent two years on the master's programme, the third generation of JEMARO students finished their studies with a thesis defense held at Keio University, Japan, on July 30th.

The 22 students, from various backgrounds and nationalities, arrived in Japan in September 2023. During their first semester, they followed Japanese and elective courses at Keio University while starting to work on their research within one of Keio laboratories. Their second semester was dedicated full time to research, co-supervised by a Japanese and European professor.

With different interests and research objectives, each of the 22 students defended their work after a 2-year long Research Track.
 

The thesis titles of this third intake were:
