On November 11, the Signing Ceremony for the department-level partnership between European School of Chemistry, Polymers and Materials (ECPM), University of Strasbourg in France and Division of Material Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Kanazawa University took place on Kakuma Campus.

University of Strasbourg established in 1538, and has produced four Nobel Prize winners.

Two delegates from Strasbourg, Prof. Francoise Colobert and Ms. Caroline Schmitt, International relations manager, attended this ceremony.

Prior to the ceremony, delegates from Strasbourg visited Dr. Chisato Mukai, Trustee of Research. There was a lively discussion about the enhancement of our collaboration which has developed since the joint symposium in 2018 February in Strasbourg.
