Decision Made to Establish B Lab in Bologna

B Lab to Open in Bologna! We’ll share more details about our activities and other information in a separate announcement ^^

The organizer of B Lab Bologna is Professor Paola of the University of Bologna. This is a collaborative project with a research center at the University of Bologna.

The School of Japanese Culture and Literature, to which Professor Paola belongs, is part of the Faculty of Modern Languages, Literature, and Culture, which has 2,000 undergraduate students and 800 graduate students. Of these, it is said that there are as many as 200 students majoring in Japanese each year, for a total of 600 over three years.

I'm really looking forward to Bologna—especially since the Bologna Children's Book Fair is happening there!
And the cafeteria at the University of Bologna is so stylish!
