The Tokyo University of Science will be holding the second International Collaboration Workshop 2008. This workshop is a component of the "Development of Science and Technology-based Human Resources for a Global Era" project adopted as part of the "Supporting Ultramodern International Cooperation" program conducted by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The aim is to uncover the seeds for joint education and research among the collaborating universities by holding an international workshop with these universities to narrow our focus on unique educational research fields. We plan to invite other key universities in North America and Asia to join this collaboration. We will carefully study the possibilities for further development of this approach and the ability to apply this approach to more generalized situations will be shared with the international community.
There will also be a preliminary coordination meeting with all of the coordinators from the collaborating universities followed by the workshop in order to confirm that there are mutual understandings among the universities and a shared awareness regarding the content of the collaboration as well as the promotion of the program.
