University leaders from Japan and Germany: Cooperation and exchange between universities and society is key, but rules must be clear
Cooperation and exchange between universities and society is key for the development of future-oriented universities, but it must remain true to the universities’ fundamental mission, and the rules must be clear. This was the conclusion arrived at by the delegates to the fourth joint symposium of the Japan Committee of Universities for International Exchange (JACUIE), the HRK and the Japanese-German Center Berlin (JDZB) held in Tokyo on 26/27 April 2018.
