Lastly, on behalf of the sponsor companies, Mr. Ryota Fujii, Sustainability Department of Sumitomo Corporation gave a comment, which brought the event to a close.
Last year, approx. 80% of GEfIL abroad programs were conducted in overseas countries, and almost all GEfIL students could go abroad this year with some exceptions.
In that sense, current GEfIL students could achieve the most benefits of the program.
We appreciate so much generous support from all sponsoring companies and foundations.
