Rector Niinimäki called at the President’s Office to be welcomed by President Yuichi Hasebe, Executive Director of International Affairs Fumihiko Nakamura, Director of MICT Ryuji Kohno (Faculty of Engineering Professor), and International Office Manager Ms. Yoko Ito. The topic was the practical way of utilization of YNU International Branch (a hub for international cooperation, research and education) which was to be established in OYO shortly. YNU and OYO have developed many good results in research collaboration mainly between mutual faculties of engineering and on the other hand, mutual student exchanges in the whole range of universities so far. In the discussion, the leaders of the both universities confirmed that cooperation between YNU and OYO should be further developed to the fields of arts and social sciences.
