On July 2, the annual JSPS Evening Reception took place in Bonn. The JSPS Club was represented by Niklas Kolbe and Daniela Winkler. Daniela Winkler also had the honor of delivering a keynote lecture, presenting her research and discussing her Japanese collaborations in the field of paleontology.

As Prof. Hayashi will soon step down from his position as Director of the JSPS Bonn Office, the event also provided an opportunity to acknowledge his dedicated service.

The JSPS Club would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Prof. Hayashi for the excellent collaboration and for his commitment to strengthening scientific exchange between Germany and Japan. We wish Prof. Hayashi all the very best for the future!

At the same time, we look forward to a successful collaboration with Prof. Hiroko Masumoto, who will assume the role of Director of the JSPS Bonn Office following Prof. Hayashi's tenure.

On April 18, the ceremonial presentation of the Festschrift in honor of Professor Heinrich Menkhaus on the occasion of his 70th birthday took place at the German-Japanese Center Berlin.

Upon reaching the age of 70, professors at Meiji University are granted emeritus status. Heinrich Menkhaus, our Chairman, taught there until March 31, 2026.

This Festschrift honors Professor Menkhaus for his outstanding academic achievements, his many years of teaching, and his exceptional contributions to German-Japanese legal relations.

His work has left a lasting impact not only in Germany but also in Japan. This is further evidenced by the fact that two additional Festschriften have been dedicated to him in Japan.

We congratulate Heinrich Menkhaus on his life’s work and wish him all the best for the future.
