> auspices of the MIT-Japan Program, will host the second annual
> conference, STeLA Leadership Forum 2008, a 9-day intensive workshop in
> Boston in August 2008.

> The focus of the forum is: to develop leadership skills related to the
> field of science and technology on a global level and to bring together
> the next generation of scientists, policy-makers, engineers and
> entrepreneurs to forge a network of leaders. Last summer, we held a
> great conference in Tokyo, with the total of 40 participants from
> Harvard, MIT, Princeton and leading universities in Japan, with
> participants representing 8 countries from around the world. This year,
> we will be hosting a conference in Boston, and welcoming students from
> universities in Japan and China. We would like to encourage graduate and
> undergraduate students to apply for this exciting conference.
> 
> During the forum, participants will experience various educational and
> exciting events! For example:
> 
> (1) Prof. Phil Sharp, a world leader of research in molecular biology
> and biochemistry, an Institute Professor of MIT and Nobel Laureate, and
> a co-founder of Biogen, will be giving a keynote lecture.
> (2) Prof. Susumu Tonegawa, Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine in
> 1987, will be giving a keynote speech on his experience in Leadership.
> (3) Site visits to local biotechnology companies and laboratories
> (4) Group Project
