WRAP UP SUMMARY:

After a great welcoming speech from the vice-president of CUC, Mr. Miuki Aso and the chair, Mr. Hiromitsu Takemi, The commemorative lecture started by a self-introduction and background presentation in which Dr. Matthias Kipping highlighted his international background through his studies in France, USA and Germany and his transnational career positions in six counties and three continents, and then about his current position in Schulich School of Business in Canada; this was to point out that an international career is challenging and rewarding in both personal and professional levels.
