Hokkaido Summer Institute 2021 course list finalized

The season for the Hokkaido Summer Institute (HSI) is approaching once again! More than 160 world-leading researchers from overseas will gather at Hokkaido University this summer for the HSI, which was established in 2016 and provides lectures with the university’s faculty members for five months during the summer.

The university continues to expand the program, and for summer 2021 there will be over 150 courses (around 125 graduate courses and around 25 undergraduate courses).

In response to COVID-19, which is currently spreading around the world, HU has decided to offer majority of the courses online in HSI 2021. Applicants can apply for the courses without worrying about the spread of COVID-19 infection or traveling to Japan.
