In 2020, a new innovative project, the Japan Year Abroad Programme Inter-University Support Programme (J-YAP IUSP), was initiated by seven year abroad coordinators from UK universities for students whose study abroad in Japan had been curtailed or cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This panel presents how what began as a simple exchange of information turned into a national-scale project that received funding from external bodies such as the Embassy of Japan in the UK. Over the two and a half years spanned by this programme, two surveys were carried out, the outcomes of which revealed challenges such as that of ensuring a sense of belonging amongst students. In this panel we will discuss 1. The development and operation of an inter-university programme – beyond university boundaries; 2. Participant feedback and 3. Reflections and future prospects. It is hoped that J-YAP IUSP will become a risk management model for future study abroad programmes.
