We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for individual
 membership to the JPN-COIL Association.

The Association was established in 2018 under the following goals:
①To exchange information on educational practices through COIL and other means
②To encourage various exchange and training projects through COIL

Currently, JPN-COIL Association activities are funded by a government grant
provided by MEXT as part of the "2018 Support for Educational Reform strategy,
the Inter-University Exchange Project," which aims to build and operate an
interactive exchange program that utilizes the Next Generation Collaborative
Online International Learning (COIL) method to mutually improve education
techniques and diversify businesses by contributing to the career development
of individuals who will become a bridge to the world. Therefore, there is
currently no membership fee. However, after financial support for the project
ends (April 2023 onwards), a membership fee may be charged to cover the cost
of the Association's activities.

In addition to this open call for individual membership applications, we are
also still accepting applications for regular, supporting, and international
chapter membership!

If you are interested in joining the JPN-COIL Association, please visit the
JPN-COIL Association website linked below and fill out the membership/withdrawal
application form. The deadline for applications is the 20th of each month.

You will be notified at the beginning of the following month as to the status
of your application.
