３月１２日，南開大学・金沢大学ジョイントワークショップをオンライン開催しました。このイベントは，2020年の３月に中国・天津の南開大学にて対面で行われることが計画されていましたが，新型コロナウィルス感染症の感染拡大に伴い，延期を余儀なくされていました。しかし昨年10月に行われた第１２回日中学長会議の際，双方の国際担当者による個別面談の機会を得たことで今回の開催につながりました。
開幕式で山崎学長および南開大学の王磊副学長によるビデオメッセージが流れ，各大学の紹介が行われた後，人間社会系分野（歴史），人間社会系分野（言語），理工学系分野，医薬系分野の４つの分科会に分かれ，それぞれの参加者による研究発表や討論会が行われました。すでに共同研究等で顔見知りである同士が，画面を通してながらも久々の再開を喜ぶ様子が見られました。そして，さらなる交流の提案や新しい分野での研究交流の模索，学生交流の可能性など様々なプランについて活発に意見が交わされました。
南開大学とは2008年12月に大学間交流協定を締結してから継続的に交流が行われており，2017年からは人間社会環境研究科にてダブルディグリープログラムも開始されています。今後も本学にとって研究・教育の重要なパートナーとして交流を深めていきます。
Nankai University – Kanazawa University Joint Workshop held online
On March 12, a Nankai University – Kanazawa University Joint Workshop was held online. This event was originally planned to be held in March 2020, two years ago. That was when Covid-19 was brand new and starting to intimidate the world. Facing the unknown threat, we had no choice but postpone the event indefinitely. However, on the occasion of the 12th China-Japan University Presidents’ online Forum in October 2021, we had an opportunity to have an Individual meeting between the International offices of both universities, which led to this event.
After the video message from President Yamazaki and Vice-president Wan Lei, introduction videos for both universities were played at the opening ceremony. Then the event was divided into 4 sessions: the Human and Social Science-Historical Field, the Human and Social Science-Language Field, the Science and Engineering Field and the Medical and Pharmaceutical Science Field. In each session, the respective participants made research presentations and held active discussions. Some participants were pleased to see their acquaintances from before, even through the screen, and actively exchanged opinions on a variety of topics, including proposals for further exchanges. Some explored research exchanges in new fields and possibilities for student exchanges. Nankai University and Kanazawa University concluded University-level Agreement and MOU in December 2008. Since then, we have been having continued researcher and student exchange especially in the Humanities and Sociology Field. We also started a Double Degree Program in those field for Master’s students since 2017. Nankai University will certainly continue to be one of our key partners in research and education
