What is UTokyo Global Future Faculty Development Program (UTokyo Global FFDP)?

Universities all over the world have been urged to play an increasing role not only as research institutions, but also as key societal pillars for human and educational development in an increasingly globalized world.  

University professors are required to be excellent educators as well as researchers; when hiring, universities grant significant importance not only to research achievements and previous experience, but also to the applicants’ actual teaching competences, asking them to submit examples of syllabi and to conduct mock lessons.
