CAFOSCARI JISHO is a free smartphone dictionary application of Japanese <> Italian language for iOs (iPhone and iPad) and Android platforms. It has been developed by the Jalea Team of the Department of Asian and North African Studies thanks to the support from Mitsubishi Corporation (International Contributions Program 2021).

In the light of youth unemployment, human capital flight and the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the collaboration between Ca’ Foscari University and Mitsubishi Corporation is aimed at strengthening academia-industry synergies in Italy. Since 2016, this collaboration has generated multiple educational research projects such as JaLea and JaLea Business. Ca’ Foscari students, teachers and researchers of Japanese language have been trained in IT skills and in the creation of digital tools to collaboratively design a  “virtual common place” as well as to facilitate their employment in Japanese companies and in the global market.

The event will present the educational research project “Fostering the study of Japanese language during Covid-19 era” (2021-22) which has brought to the creation of the CAFOSCARI Jisho application.  It will be followed by a short exchange session between Mitsubishi Corporations  representatives and Ca’ Foscari students.
