On March 25, Kanazawa University and SUN-SixERS hosted a joint symposium with E9 (Excellence 9) at Tongji University, our university-level partner. Sixty-eight faculty and staff from the member universities participated.

The symposium opened with a greeting remarks by President Koetsu Yamazaki, and 6 faculty and staff from SixERS and 9 from E9 made presentations about the cases at their universities on the themes of promoting student mobility and researcher mobility.

There is much anticipation for more active researcher and student exchanges between the SixERS and E9 resulting from this symposium.

Moreover, on the 24, “The 3rd China-Japan Research Exchange Conference” took place also at Tongji University, and 27 KU graduate students and 31 graduate students from top-level universities in China took part.
