RWTH and Institute of Science Tokyo Forge Strategic Partnership

RWTH and Institute of Science Tokyo have shared close ties since 2007. Their long-standing collaboration is grounded in common strengths in natural sciences and engineering, as well as a range of shared research priorities. Both institutions position themselves as interdisciplinary, research-intensive universities with strong connections to industry.

This solid foundation provided the backdrop for a recent visit by a Science Tokyo delegation led by President Naoto Ohtake and Professor Nobuhiro Hayashi, Vice President for International Strategy and Engagement and faculty member at the School of Life Science and Technology. 
During the visit, the delegation also explored opportunities to deepen existing collaborations and initiate new projects, with a particular focus on RWTH’s interdisciplinary research at the intersection of medicine and engineering. These discussions aim to foster connections between more researchers at both institutions and lay the groundwork for future joint initiatives. Last year, an RWTH delegation made a reciprocal visit to Science Tokyo.
