| Open Lectures at Sophia University |
MC has established two open lecture series at Sophia University for students and the general public, entitled "The Global Environment and Technology" and "Global Environmental Studies." These series, which include lecturers from outside of the university, have proven extremely popular, with close to 800 people attending them each year. |
| Earthwatch Institute and Earthwatch Japan |
MC's support for the Earthwatch Institute's activities began in Europe in 1993, and in the U.S. in 1996. Since 2002, we have also provided support from Japan. MC employees from offices around the world participate in the Institute's hands-on field study programs to give them a greater understanding of the natural environments. |
