Priority Universities for Cooperation

Priority Universities for Cooperation

Yamaguchi University has designated several overseas partner universities as “Priority Universities for Cooperation.” We see great potential for the university’s research level to grow through connection with these universities and have set goals of providing educational support, contributing internationally through academic exchange, and increasing the overall level of research by strengthening research-focused international cooperation activities. Yamaguchi University provides support for international cooperation activities with our Priority Universities for a period 5 years. Three years after the launch, we make interim assessments of these projects, and after the five year term, we make post-project assessments.

Priority Countries for Collaboration

Yamaguchi University has designated Thailand and Indonesia as Priority Countries for Collaboration because several Priority Universities for Cooperation are located in these countries. We set up overseas offices in these countries and provide support for research cooperation activities and student exchange.
