President of Venice International University in Italy, Dr. Umberto Vattani paid visit to Josai Kioicho campus on the 8th of April.

Venice International University (VIU) - established on December 15, 1995 - is an international institution for higher education aiming at “Globalization Program”, located on the island of San Servolo. In addition to European students, the VIU gathers abundant students on exchange from Japan, China, Middle East, USA etc., creating a global educational atmosphere.

At the meeting, both universities exchanged opinions and ideas on possible future student exchange, joint education and cooperative research.

We hope this visit and discussion will lead to fruitful collaboration in the near future.
