Hokkaido University conducts Overseas Fellowship Program under the Project “Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS III)” to promote future research and business development related to the Arctic region by young human resources, as well as to build an international human network.

Mr. Masaki Yamano from HOKKAIDO UNIVERSITY FISHERIES SCIENCES is currently conducting field research from 5^th August to ８^th September with the aim of understanding the current state of environmental situation surrounding mussels in the coastal community of Greenland.

We have received a firsthand message from Mr. Yamano in Greenland stating, “I am currently conducting research on mussels and their surrounding environment in Qaanaaq located in the northwest of Greenland. It is a very good experience, as I experience a natural environment and culture that are different from Japan. I will continue to do my best while paying attention to security and my health.”
