Working Meeting at Chiba University
Dr. Ritter Diaz, Representative Director of JAPOLAC, participated in several working meetings at Chiba University to review academic programs conducted in collaboration with various universities across Latin America and the Caribbean.
The meetings included representatives from the International Students Division, the Faculty of Horticulture, and the Faculty of Engineering.
Since 2021, JAPOLAC and Chiba University have launched a series of short online programs aimed at introducing the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to Japanese university students. These programs, delivered in English by professors from Latin America and the Caribbean, provide a platform for international academic exchange.
To date, Chiba University has successfully implemented these online programs in partnership with Panama Technological University, the University of Technology of Jamaica, and the University of Santiago de Chile.
JAPOLAC has also collaborated with Chiba University to promote Controlled Environment Agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean, a pioneering technology advanced by CU.
Currently, JAPOLAC and Chiba University are exploring opportunities to expand academic collaboration into other areas, such as semiconductors and immunology.
