Japanese students scouting locations in Montpellier
A delegation from Tohoku University visited the campuses of the University of Montpellier from February 8 to 14. It was composed of two representatives from international relations, as well as two teachers and fourteen students, as part of the internationalization strategy of the university based in Sendai, in the Tohoku region. The aim was to promote study abroad among Japanese students and establish concrete actions as part of a university partnership agreement between the Faculty of Sciences of Montpellier and Tohoku University covering courses in chemistry, mechanics and materials, earth, water and environmental sciences, as well as master's degrees in all disciplines for a period of five years.
This type of agreement allows for the definition of partnership terms, particularly with regard to mobility (students, administrative staff, Professors research professors) and scientific cooperation. Accompanied by representatives from the University of Montpellier, the Japanese delegation visited the Polytech Montpellier school and explored the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Pharmacy campuses before taking a short tour of the laboratories, including: the Montpellier Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics, and Microelectronics (LIRMM), the Montpellier University Space Center (CSUM), the Laboratory of Mechanics and Civil Engineering (LMGC), and the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology (CEFE).
