On November 6, a Josai delegation led by Chancellor Noriko Mizuta made a trip to Poland and visited the University of Łódź.

Josai and the University of Łódź agreed to an academic exchange program during the delegation’s visit in June. This visit was then scheduled to make the agreement official.

Representatives from both universities attended the signing that took place in Founder’s Hall, including Chancellor Mizuta and Assistant to the Chancellor Yukihisa Kitamura of Josai as well as Rector Włodzimierz NYKIEL and Pro-Rector Zofia WYSOKIŃSKA of the University of Łódź.
    Established in 1945, the University of Łódź is a national university with an enrollment of 42,000 students. The university is actively involved in international exchange, with an East Asian studies center as part of the International Studies and Politics department that offers courses in Japanese language.

Beginning with a study abroad program, we are expecting many great collaborative projects centered on Japanese language study and the social sciences with the University of Łódź.
