NIT-T inks pact with Japanese university
A Memorandum of Understanding
that NIT-T has entered into with the university also paves the way for
faculties to collaborate in areas of mutual interest and conduct of
lecture sessions through video-conferencing in mutually beneficial
areas.
Institute Director S. Sundararajan, and
president of the University Keiichi Ohta, signed the MoU documents
recently. The MoU, valid for three years, will take effect from 2013,
according to an NIT-T press release.
Of the 100
international students pursuing their undergraduate, graduate and
doctoral studies at the university, 35 are from China, and 10 students
pursue their courses under exchange programme. Founded in 1950, the
University of Shiga Prefecture located 430 km south of Tokyo, became a
public university in 2006 with four undergraduate schools and four
graduate schools. The schools of environmental science, engineering,
human cultures and human nursing encompass the departments of ecosystem
studies, biological resources management, design and architecture,
materials science, mechanical and electronic systems engineering, food
science and nutrition, living design, human relations and nursing.
Alongside
mutual exchange of faculty, researchers and students, the agreement
provides for joint implementation of educational programmes;
implementation of collaborative research projects of mutual benefit;
academic exchange and cooperation including mutual invitations of
experts to special lectures, organising collaborative conferences and
making requests for cooperation at international academic conferences;
and exchange of academic materials for the purpose of presenting and
publishing each other’s research achievements.
