 On 23 August, JSPS president Dr. Yuichiro Anzai went to the Indian Embassy in Tokyo to visit with Ms. Deepa Gopalan Wadhwa, Ambassador of India to Japan. Expressing a strong perception of the need for scientific exchange between India and Japan, Ambassador Wadhwa said she would like to see an invigorated student exchange across the spectrum of academic fields. She also said that the embassy will actively support the Indian JSPS Alumni Association. Agreeing to the need to promote the exchange of young researchers especially postdocs, Dr. Anzai expressed the desire to also promote research collaboration—saying that, in addition to greater cooperation in basic research, support should be directed to collaboration in specific research areas such as information technology. Afterwards, the two enjoyed a pleasant chat with Ambassador Wadhwa telling Dr. Anzai about her experience while residing in Sweden of coordinating an exchange between India and Swedish universities, and Dr. Anzai telling her about the time he co-chaired the First Japan-India Dialogue of Vice Chancellors/Presidents on Academic Exchange in New Delhi in 2007. - Asian Program Division  |
