Kyoto University Graduate School of Agriculture entered into agreements on 24 March with the University of Brawijaya<\/a>‘s Faculty of Agriculture<\/a> and Faculty of Agricultural Technology<\/a> for academic cooperation and student exchange.<\/p>\n

The signing took place at the GSA dean’s office in the presence of senior faculty from both universities, including GSA dean Hisashi Miyagawa [PDF]<\/a> and UB-FAT dean Bambang Susilo.<\/p>\n

With these agreements now in place, each side can send and accept no more than four non-degree-seeking students for up to a year.<\/p>\n

The academic ties date back to 2002, when GSA accepted a PhD student from UB-FA. Since then the two parties have strengthened the ties through a range of means, such as deliberating on collaboration plans and inviting one’s scientists to talk at conferences hosted by the other.<\/p>\n

In 2011, GSA and UB-FA took a step forward and signed agreements for general academic cooperation and student exchange. GSA professor and international committee chair Naoshi Kondo<\/a> remained highly active in fostering the partnership, by visiting UB-FA to give information sessions on the school’s international admission, accepting a PhD student from the faculty at his lab, and so forth.<\/p>\n

In a bid to further expand the collaboration, GSA and UB-FA agreed in 2015 to invite the UB Faculty of Agriculture Technology to join the partnership.<\/p>\n

Also present at the signing ceremony were: GSA vice deans Eiji Nawata [PDF]<\/a> and Hiroshi Amano [PDF]<\/a>, the latter of whom played a pivotal role in forging the ties as a coordinator, UB-FAT vice dean Bambang Dwi Argo and assistant professor Yusuf Hendrawan, the last of whom has been professor Kondo’s long-time counterpart.<\/p>\n
