On February 13th 2023, Professor Masato Ninomiya of the Faculty of Law at the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, one of our inter-university exchange agreement partners, payed a courtesy call to the Higashi-Hiroshima Campus of Hiroshima University (HU) and engaged in discussion with HU President Mitsuo Ochi. The meeting was also attended by Executive Vice President in charge of Global Initiatives, and Research and Academia-Government-Community Collaboration, Shinji Kaneko.
During the meeting, views were exchanged on the future of exchanges between the two universities.

HU and USP signed an inter-university exchange agreement in 2010. Since then, the two universities have deepened exchange, such as holding summer schools and inviting participants from USP. Also, there are currently two students from USP studying at HU.
Going forward, we hope that through this visit collaboration with USP will be furthered.
