Agreement for Education and Research Cooperation

Signed with Écoles Centrale, France

 

On November 28, Tohoku University and 5 schools of Écoles Centrale (Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes and Paris, France) signed Agreement for Education and Research Cooperation at École Centrale Lyon.

 

                          

 

Our Executive Vice President Hitoshi Ohnishi signed on behalf of President Takashi Yoshimoto with Directors and representatives from all 5 Écoles Centrale. The ceremony was celebrated with a toast of champagne.

 

 Écoles Centrale is a group of grades écoles that send graduates who are prospective leaders and executives to work at governments and private enterprises.

 

Students are educated as generalists through a wide-range of science and business study and internship with graduates showing remarkable achievement in various fields.

 

The Agreement was signed with all 5 schools, and is also expected to be a base for future Double Degree Program. The only agreement that Tohoku University had with École Centrale de Lyon was signed in May, 2003, which was abolished and replaced with this signing.

 

This agreement would enable us to receive top-class students from France and allow our students who participate in this program to develop broader knowledge through grande école education and learn fully from network of “leaders-to-be” in France.
