Global Gateways[Call for Participation] Strategic Partnership Symposium -Future prospects for international cooperation of Japanese universities with overseas universities-
The University of Tokyo proposed the “Building a Network of ‘Strategic Partnerships’ to Strengthen International Competitiveness among Japanese Universities” as a project for the Japan Forum for Internationalization of Universities and plan to widely disseminate information by sharing the challenges and good practices with other universities through the enhancement of horizontal cooperation. Through this project, the universities plan to enhance the recognition of Strategic Partnerships and the international presence of the universities of Japan.
This 3rd Strategic Symposium, which will be held on the final year of the MEXT’s Top Global University Japan Project, will provide an opportunity to contemplate on future prospects for international cooperation of Japanese universities with overseas universities, based on the discussions on the strategic partnership projects that have been generated so far in the three years of the project's activities.
