Establishement of Academic Exchange Agreement with National Taiwan University Graduate School

On December 29, 2022, Fukushima Medical University concluded the establishment of an Academic Exchange Agreement with the Graduate School at National Taiwan University (hereafter referred to as Taiwan University), located in Taipei City in Taiwan, with the aim of further promoting joint projects for medical research, jointly holding academic seminars, and promoting exchange between students.

The conclusion of this Agreement came about due to a commemorative lecture by the Head of Taiwan University’s Graduate School of Medicine at a symposium to honor and commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of modern medical education in Fukushima Prefecture, held on June 11, 2022. Taiwan University is the leading general university in Taiwan, and has an excellent global reputation. Being able to further deepen exchanges through joint research is extremely significant for our university.

The signing ceremony was held at National Taiwan University, where Vice President Hazama Akihiko of our university and National Taiwan University College of Medicine Dean Yen-Hsuan Ni exchanged signed documents.

The Fukushima Institute for Research, Education and Innovation

F-REI is a special public corporation that was newly established in April 2023. This organizations intended to symbolize dreams and hopes for the restoration of Fukushima and the Tohoku region and drives the strengthening of Japan’s science and technology and industrial competitiveness. It aims to become a world-class, core location for innovative restoration, in order to contribute to economic growth and the improvement of the lives of Japan’s people.
