Shinshu University has maintained continuous international exchange activities, such as student exchange programs, with University of Warsaw since signing an inter-university agreement in 2011. The invitation to this seminar was based on this partnership, and at the beginning of the seminar, President Nakamura, representing the participating Japanese universities, gave a presentation on international exchange with Polish universities, moderated by Professor Iwona Nawrocka, the Head of Chair of Japanese Studies, Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Warsaw.
The participants also experienced Polish culture and art through the Polish Pavilion tour conducted prior to the seminar as well as the piano recital held in the middle of the seminar, where the Polish composer Chopin’s master piece was performed, while engaging in active discussions about international exchange between the two countries.
Shinshu University will continue to collaborate with various institutions in Poland through educational and research exchanges to contribute to the friendship and social development of both countries.
