During a six-week research stay abroad, Jonas Feld, a member of the economics team at IAAEU, had the opportunity to visit Waseda University in the heart of Tokyo, Japan – one of the country's most prestigious institutions. Engaging in thought-provoking discussions with local faculty members and fellow researchers, Jonas Feld gained profound insights and new perspectives. The visit provided a chance to explore various data sources relevant to Mr. Feld's research and facilitated exchanges of ideas with other researchers.

Waseda University's vibrant and highly international campus offered a glimpse into Japanese culture through diverse events, fostering insightful discussions not only on academic topics but also on Japanese traditions, heritage, and the country's global position. Furthermore, Jonas Feld was invited to present one of his current research projects at Waseda's School of Social Sciences department seminar series. This experience not only facilitated valuable feedback but also directly enhanced the guest researcher's work, leading to its submission to a journal, where it is currently under review.

The stay at Waseda University was characterized by significant academic growth, cultural exploration, and fruitful interactions, making it a valuable, memorable, impactful, and intellectually enriching experience for Mr. Feld.
