  • Japanese is not a requirement. However, a conversational level of English will help. Coordinators can offer basic support in either English or Japanese.
  • We seek participants with clear project goals, including a schedule for the completion of the proposal, keeping in mind the larger context of AIR 3331 and the community (Tokyo's Chiyoda City in particular).
