This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Sussex!
To celebrate this special milestone, the University of Sussex alumni community in Japan is planning a gathering in Tokyo on the evening of Saturday, December 12, bringing together IDS graduates and Sussex alumni in Japan.
We hope it will be a wonderful opportunity to reconnect across different generations of IDS alumni. We are also planning a live online session with former and current IDS professors, so that they can join us and connect with graduates in Japan.

Time: approximately 18:30–21:30
Location: JICA Ichigaya Building, Tokyo
