Harmony by Global and Japanese: The Graduate School of Information Science and Technology will start a new English course in October 2010 as a part of the Global 30 Project by the University of Tokyo. In addition to the cutting-edge Global information technologies, the English Course in Information Science and Technology will also provide opportunities to learn about those technologies specific to Japan, and those originated or matured in Japan. This event also follows the two directions, and even tries to merge them.
