• Meet regularly with each other and the IUC Resident Director to discuss their research interests and experiences in Japan
• Invite an IUC alumni scholar to give a lecture at the IUC
• Conduct research during the second half of the program and present their results in Japanese at The Nippon Foundation Fellows Symposium at the end of the academic year
