On January 28, the Conferment Ceremony for Kanazawa University International Exchange Senior Advisor took place for Vice President Dmitry Tayursky of Kazan Federal University. He was handed the conferment certificate from President Koetsu Yamazaki.

Professor Tayursky plays a central role in developing collaborative programs between KU and KFU. Our program, “Training Program for Russia-Japan Innovative Leaders of Tomorrow,” has been selected by the Japanese government for the Inter-University Exchange Project with Russia, and we have very active student and researcher exchanges with KFU, our essential university-level partner. There is much anticipation for further cooperation between the two universities.

Also, on January 29, Professor Tayursky gave a special lecture titled “KFU studies in the field of low-dimensional systems of strong-correlated electron systems” in the KU-KFU Joint Symposium on Physics hosted by KU Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Institute of Science and Engineering, and it was followed by an active discussion with the audience.
