Delegation from Beijing University of Technology (BUT) pays visit to President Taniguchi
A delegation from Beijing University of Technology in China, with whom we have the university-level exchange agreement, paid a visit to President Isao Taniguchi on April 16. The delegation consisted of BUT President Guo Guangsheng and five others.
In January 2011, the exchange agreement between BUT and our university was expanded from department-level to university-level agreement, and a variety of exchange programs including joint-research between faculty and student exchange have been implemented.
The impetus for the visit was the university presidents' roundtable discussion at the 9th Kumamoto University Forum held in Shanghai in January 2012. The two presidents agreed to deepen the friendship between their universities and further expand student and faculty exchange programs.
After the delegation met with our president, they visited the Graduate School of Science and Technology and Faculty of Engineering. There they met with the Dean of the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kazuki Takashima, and other faculty members to discuss the specifics of the proposed international education program and joint research initiative in the field of engineering. It proved to be very productive visit.
