Description

<p>This article describes possible solutions to the challenges of (1) obtaining private grants, (2) human resource management, and (3) cooperation with government-affiliated agencies, which arose at an international student forum held by BRIDGE in September 2019. BRIDGE is a circle for global-minded students, which is recognized officially by the Faculty of Agriculture, Niigata University. We describe reasons why applications for private grants were rejected, and make suggestions for the preparation of more effective applications. Concerning human resource management, we suggest organizational structure of BRIDGE from a point of view of leadership and management skills. In regard to cooperation with government-affiliated agencies, we suggest Japanese university students and graduate students use English educational content for trainees belonging to JICA, and plan for the expansion and renovation of educational contents with collaboration between JICA trainees and Japanese students. By sharing knowledge and experiences with other Japanese agricultural students, we hope that student organizations related to agricultural international cooperation can be founded throughout Japan. This could be an opportunity to build a student version of JISNAS (Japan Intellectual Support Network in Agricultural Sciences) as a foundation for future resources in agricultural international cooperation.</p>
