On February 19, 2018, the UMAP International Secretariat (Prof. Shingo Ashizawa) along with eight additional specialists from Canada, ISEP, U.S.A., and Japan had an ad hoc meeting at Marriot Wardman Park, Washington, D.C. Topics such as ‘promotional activities and membership development of UMAP in North America’ were discussed.  The potential development of new programs which attract universities and students in North America was also introduced at the meeting.
