From FY2011, ten pilot programs were selected through joint screening by the three countries and conducted. Since FY2016, in addition to eight programs that applied from among the ten pilot programs, nine new programs by the university consortium participating in CAMPUS Asia have been added for a total of 17 programs that have begun the full-fledged implementation of their activities. Record/plan of exchanges (no. of Japanese students sent abroad, foreign students received in Japan) - FY 2011-2015 (actual): Sent: 1,392, received: 1,485 - FY 2016-2020 (planned): Sent: 2,199; received: 2,076 Details At the 2nd Japan-China-Korea Summit in October 2009, Japan proposed, and agreement was reached on, trilateral high-quality inter- university exchanges.
