Kaori Hayashi is a professor of media studies at the University of Tokyo.
The Japan Science and Technology Agency in October held its annual "Japan-India Universities Forum" in New Delhi. Leaders from 32 major Japanese universities, alongside representatives from Japanese companies in India, met with heads of 30 Indian counterparts. I observed an encouraging enthusiasm among Japanese institutions, including my own, to welcome more students and researchers from India, a challenge that many Japanese educators still find daunting.
