The meeting included presentations of activity reports and plans for 2021-2023, proposals from member universities and discussions among participants, as well as activity reports from each regional committee.
As a representative of the Asian Regional Committee, Executive Vice President Yokota gave a presentation on activities of Hokkaido University within IUCA, focusing on the Climate & Cities Conference held in October 2021, where the University hosted one of the sessions.
