On November 7th 2019, the deputy vice-chancellor and other delegates from Lancaster University, University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom (UK) visited the Higashi-Hiroshima Campus of Hiroshima University (HU).

The meeting started off with introductions from each university. After that, members actively exchanged opinions on sessions themed “University Strategy and Strategy Execution”, “Financial Planning”, “Research Strategy - University-Industry collaboration”, “University’s collaboration with Society”, and “Innovation in teaching and learning & Student Life of Hiroshima University”. This meeting provided a good opportunity to recognize the strengths and challenges of each university and compare the circumstances surrounding Japanese and UK universities.

  With this visit, it is hoped that the academic exchange with universities in UK will be further promoted.
