The Second University of Manchester and University of Tokyo Joint Research symposium
Active collaboration between the University of Manchester and the University of Tokyo began in 2022, and in April 2023, an Agreement on Academic Exchange was signed between the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester and School of Science at the University of Tokyo. Concurrently, a Joint Supervision Ph.D. Double-Degree Agreement was concluded, leading to the enrollment of the first double-degree student in October 2023, a second student in October 2024, and a third student scheduled for April 2025.
Furthermore, the academic partnership between the University of Tokyo and the University of Manchester expanded to a university-wide agreement in February 2024, involving a broad range of fields, including School of Engineering and School of Frontier Sciences. Indeed, following the call for new double-degree projects in January 2024, many faculty members outside the Graduate School of Science also expressed a desire to participate, indicating the potential for the Double-Degree Agreement to spread throughout the university.
To further spread and deepen the collaboration, we established a joint research symposium to promote interactions at the school and faculty levels and to build a wide-reaching network between the University of Manchester and the University of Tokyo. The first symposium was held from October 28 to 30, 2024, bringing together numerous researchers and students from both institutions for vibrant discussions. Thirteen faculty members from School of Science at the University of Tokyo participated.
This second joint symposium brings together researchers from School of Science and School of Engineering at the University of Tokyo and from the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Manchester. Please join the symposium.
