Project Characteristics

At the start of the strategic partnership project, there were already more than 10 collaborations between researchers at the University of Tokyo (UTokyo) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETH Zürich), mainly in the natural sciences. The Department of Chemistry (School of Science, UTokyo) is particularly active, with researchers interacting across a broad range of fields, including physical, organic, and inorganic chemistry.

The Center for Nuclear Study (School of Science), the Departments of Chemical System Engineering and Architecture (School of Engineering), the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, and the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics at UTokyo also participate in academic and student exchanges with ETH Zürich.
