My name is Pascal Wenz-Kim and I am a multilingual professional in higher education administration based in Tokyo. My mission is to help others grow and learn and contribute to creating a more caring and compassionate society.
I am currently working for the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in Tokyo, where I support academic exchange between Germany and Japan. My main task is to support German students and researchers during their time here in Japan. In addition to providing advice, I organize networking events and professional development workshops. I am also responsible for hiring and supervising interns at the office. Furthermore, I monitor higher education and science policy in Japan.
Previously, I worked as a consultant for an international PR agency and in marketing and sales for a Japanese start-up.
I am originally from Germany but have extensive experience of working and studying abroad: Japan (7 years+), UK (3 years), US (2 years) and shorter stints in South Korea, Singapore and Israel. My working languages are German, English and Japanese, and I am now working on improving my Korean.
You can find me on LinkedIn.
I am a proud alumni of:
- University of Cambridge, UK: Trinity College and Department of East Asian Studies
- The MEXT scholarship program by the Japanese government
- Princeton University, US: Department of Religion, Keller Centre, and Rockefeller College
wenz-kim.net is my personal website. I also maintain another website called empicipate.org (currently under reconstruction) which provides resources for creating a more compassionate society.
My websites (including this one) are hosted on servers in Germany that are powered entirely by renewable energy.
