At their meeting, EVP Ueki first introduced the long history of collaborations between Tohoku University and academic institutions from China.
The initiatives by the Center for Integrated Japanese Studies, which was established last year, were mentioned as well.
VP Yamaguchi touched on the importance of generating valuable outcomes at the humanities and social sciences faculties. He hopes that exchanges between the two universities could be further developed through departmental academic collaborations.
From President Li, there was an introduction to SISU's international education system and education reform initiatives. He also hopes to continue their exchanges with Tohoku University.
