In July 2015, Osaka University’s Graduate School of Science organized a signing ceremony for another Double Degree Program for master and doctorate students. The new university partner is the University of Science of the Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City. The program will involve students in all fields of basic science, but in particular, in the field of experimental particle physics. This is a field in which long-term collaboration has already been taking place, especially as many of the professors of the Vietnamese partner graduated at Osaka University in the past. 

Apart from the formal signing ceremony, during their time at Osaka University, the Vietnamese guests also visited the University Hospital facilities and the Research Center for Nuclear Physics.

The Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, has successfully signed three Double Degree Programs (DDP) for Master students in Biotechnology with two Thai universities. The Thai university partners are:

• Faculty of Engineering, King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT),
• School of Bioresources and Technology (KMUTT)
• Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Graduate Studies, Mahidol University.

The signing ceremonies were held in the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University on Tuesday, 21 April 2015.

Members of the CAREN Team visited National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan (NTHU), and shared information about ongoing research efforts at OU and NTHU.
Wheels were also set in motion to proceed in future collaboration, specially, in the case of student exchange and with the establishment of a double degree program between National Tsing Hua University and Osaka University. It is hoped that the Dean and delegates from NTHU will visit Osaka University soon and proceed in the process of setting up the double degree. 

Prof. Dr. Mohammad B. Kassim, and a group of students from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia spent the week at Osaka University.

Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB, Indonesia) and Osaka University have signed an agreement that establishes a Double-Degree Program (DDP) for both Master and Ph.D. students of the two institutions. Excellent students who join the program will study and conduct research in both universities. If successful, students will be granted two degrees, one by each institution, in about the same time normally taken to achieve one degree (two years for Master students, and three years for Ph.D. students). Such DDPs are already ongoing in other graduate schools at Osaka University, but this is the first one at the Graduate School of Science.

The four delegates in the photos below are the Dean from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and Professors in Physics, Biochemistry and Chemistry from ITB Indonesia. The delegates also visited several laboratories and discussed, over a Japanese dinner, some possible candidates for the new programs.

Kazakhstan’s Al Farabi Kazakh National University has just signed an agreement with Osaka University to foster student and staff exchange between the two institutions. This agreement means that from now on, excellent students from Al Farabi Kaz NU will be able to easily participate in student exchange programs with Osaka University, in particular in the FrontierLab@Osaka program.

Attending Osaka University were three delegates, the Dean of the Faculty of Physics and Technology; the Head of the Department of Theoretical and Nuclear Physics; and the Professor of Mechanics and Mathematics, and they concluded the formal agreement between the institutions. The visitors also met Osaka University’s Vice-Presidents and visited several laboratories in order to further deepen collaboration between the two universities. Photos from signing ceremony can be seen below. Find out more about Al Farabi Kazakh National University here: http://www.kaznu.kz/en/
