On October 9, a delegation from University College London (UCL), led by its Vice-Provost Geraint Rees, paid a courtesy visit to Tohoku University. They met with President Teiji Tominaga, Executive Vice President Takafumi Aoki, Executive Vice President Toshiya Ueki, and Vice President Masahiro Yamaguchi.
To begin proceedings, President Tominaga expressed his gratitude to Vice-Provost Rees for making the journey to Sendai, and Vice-Provost Rees in turn expressed how happy he was to have the chance to visit Tohoku University for the first time in about eighteen months. Next, President Tominaga and Vice-Provost Rees reflected on their accomplishments thus far through efforts such as the two universities' matching funds. They also discussed the potential to further deepen their relationship together, through prospective collaborations in medicine and industry-university related efforts.
It is expected that this visit between Tohoku University and UCL will provide opportunities for the further development of research exchanges and collaborations together.
