Annual Overseas Study Abroad Fair was held at the General Education building on Wednesday, April 15th, 2015. In this Fair, participants are informed of student exchange programs and short-term overseas study programs in the hope that it will encourage more students to study abroad in the future. Around 40 students including freshmen and those who are interested in international activities and studying abroad attended the Fair.

Firstly, Dr. Fumiaki Suzuki, Director of Gifu University Head Office for Glocalization (GHOGL) made an opening speech. Explanations on student exchange programs with overseas partner universities, and scholarships by the university officials followed. Next, professor in charge outlined short-term study abroad programs and the Global Environment & Energy (GU-GLEE) course of the Graduate School of Engineering. In addition, "Tutor System" was introduced as a unique support system for international students who are studying at Gifu University. This system offers invaluable opportunities of international exchanges to both Gifu University students and international students.
Lastly, six students who took part in various study abroad programs including "TOBITATE! Young Ambassador Program" of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), made their presentations on their experiences.

All the participants were intently listening to the speakers about their motives of going abroad and his/her one-of-a-kind experiences overseas, as well as a lot of useful advice for students who wish to study abroad in the near future.
