Ceremonial handover of the READ JAPAN PROJECT donation

It is our pleasure to invite you to the ceremonial handover of the READ JAPAN PROJECT donation, which will be held on Monday, December 18, 2023, in the Formal Hall of the Faculty of Architecture (room 200), starting at 3 p.m.

This donation is a continuation of the successful cooperation between the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Belgrade and the Embassy of Japan in the Republic of Serbia, which supported this project, alongside other activities aimed at strengthening friendly ties between Serbia and Japan.

The READ JAPAN PROJECT was initiated by The Nippon Foundation in 2008 to promote the understanding of Japan through the donation of Japan-related books in English to universities and libraries around the world. The project is currently administered by the Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research with financial support from The Nippon Foundation.

The Tokyo Foundation for Policy Research is an independent, not-for-profit think tank that examines critical issues confronting society from a neutral and impartial standpoint; undertakes rigorous, evidence-based research; and offers a range of policy options in pioneering paths to a brighter future. We also cultivate broadminded, socially engaged future leaders, both in Japan and overseas, and contribute to building a better society for all.

Donated books on Japanese culture, society and politics will be available to interested readers in the library of the Faculty of Architecture.
