One of the central aims of the Japan and the World Campaign has been to establish links between Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge and Japanese businesses with an interest in advancing the field of Japanese Studies, both in the UK and internationally. Below we list our sponsors, whose support is ensuring Cambridge remains a world-leading centre for Japanese Studies.
