The „Estonian Association of Former University Students in Japan“ officially set up at the founding meeting held in the Residence of the Ambassador of Japan on November 13, 2014.
Since 1993 around 170 people have studied in Japan, most of them as Japanese government scholarship students, that enable to study also on Master Degree or Doctor Degree level. Among the members of the Association various professions are represented – government officials, scientists, a sushi restaurant owner, IT engeneers, translators, business people, etc.
The meetings organized by the Association are an excellent way to keep close contact with Japan and find new business networking through Japan, speaking Japanese, or listening to Japan related lectures. Professor Rein Raud who is the leading scholar of Japanese studies in Estonia as well as in Europe, gave a special lecture at the founding meeting . Many fascinating events would be organized in the Association’s future activities. Besides former students, theofficials of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who have worked in the Embassy in Tokyo, including former Ambassador in Japan, were also invited to the meeting.
Mr. Alari Allik, a lecturer of Tallinn University was elected Chairman of the Association.
