CAMPUS Asia Plus Program
The CAMPUS Asia* program began in 2011 as part of the Inter-University Exchange Project initiative led by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), aiming to promote exchange between the students and faculty and staff of universities in Japan, China and Korea, and, through such close cooperation and interactions, nurture the next generation of world leaders who will mold the future of Asia. In 2021, the framework for exchange between Japan, China and Korea expanded to ASEAN, with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) joining the BESETO consortium comprising the School of International Studies (SIS) at Peking University (PKU), the Graduate School of International Studies (GSIS) at Seoul National University (SNU), and the Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP) of The University of Tokyo (UTokyo), and the BESETO consortium was renamed as BESETOSING (Beijing-Seoul-Tokyo-Singapore).
