【演讲内容简介】
Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) is striving to become “one of the world’s top ten research universities by 2030” and is implementing ambitious education reforms to realize this goal. These reforms are based on the establishment of a world-class education system, innovation in learning, and internationalization. Breaking from traditional, rigid frameworks, a new system and curricula are being introduced to increase students’ access to global opportunities and inspire them to think independently on how to best develop their professional skills and contribute to society.
Another driving force in their efforts is the Top Global University Project, launched this year by the Japanese government. Tokyo Tech was selected as one of the top ten university awardees and, through the project, will carry out decisive administrative reforms for the implementation of world-class education and research systems.
Recent highlights in their research activities are presented herein, with particular emphasis on new types of research organizations designed to stimulate scientific and technological innovation. Through ambitious research, Tokyo Tech enhances its strengths in science and technology to become a global hub, attracting top researchers and industry links from around world.
Tsinghua University and Tokyo Tech have enjoyed a long, fruitful relationship through many collaborative programs and consortiums. Tokyo Tech hopes to deepen this relationship through further promotion of faculty and student exchanges.
