The Fifth ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Strategic Partnership Symposium:
“How can ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app work together with Asian Universities?”
“How can ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app work together with Asian Universities?”
Background, Concept, and Outlines
´ºÓêÖ±²¥app has been organizing cross-departmental projects called the “Strategic Partnerships ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app” with selected overseas partner universities since October 2014. Strategic partnerships play an important role in promoting not only international research collaborations but also diverse and interdisciplinary exchanges of students.
The Fifth ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app Strategic Partnership Symposium will be held on Thursday, March 7th so that faculty members, staff, and students from ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app and partner universities may share experiences and ideas for better partnership development and discuss how ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app can work together with Asian universities.
Because universities in English-speaking countries have a large presence in academia in the world, many non-Western universities, including ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app, heavily emphasize relationships with universities in English speaking countries. While maintaining relations with these universities is important, geographical realities and changing demographics naturally point at the value and the need of increasing relationships with Asian universities, especially in view of the rapid growth in the Asian economy and diversification. The goal of the symposium is to understand the significance of the cooperation with Asian universities and discuss how ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app could further strengthen relationships with institutions in neighboring countries.
We sincerely hope that this symposium will provide participating universities with an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences and ideas regarding collaboration among Asian institutions, and thereby, to contribute to international as well as regional society by strengthening their excellent educational and research capacity further.
Intended for
´ºÓêÖ±²¥app faculty, staff, and students; members of ´ºÓêÖ±²¥app’s strategic partnership universities; members from universities selected for the Top Global University Project
