Annals, Public Policy Studies serves as a platform for broadcasting the educational, research, and practical achievements of the Hokkaido University Public Policy School (HOPS). For this edition, as editor-in-chief, I have introduced a special feature highlighting the classroom experiences of HOPS students. While research activities have been the major focus of HOPS, it also emphasises education and the cultivation of skilled professionals by continuously refining its methods to fulfil its social responsibilities. The articles in this issue cover a wide range of topics, including interdisciplinary policy case studies, social security, labour and welfare policies, non-profit organisation management, practical English seminars, and labour law. HOPS provides an irreplaceable learning environment for recent graduates, working professionals, and international students. Its curriculum is enriched by courses taught in English and distinguished part-time instructors from their respective fields. This special feature also reflects the diverse aspects of programs offered by HOPS in public management, international policy, and technological policy. It is a great honour to witness how collaborative relationships between faculty and students enable meaningful and effective educational practices. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed and wish the best for the future of HOPS and its students.
