Participants were encouraged to create partnerships during an open session on "Promoting cooperation between EU and Japanese universities" with the aim to prepare for Japan-EU joint initiatives announced in July 2018. To get out into the field, the Academy also included a study visit to the National Theatre to learn about cultural policy and cultural diplomacy in practice.
