3/29/2011　Summary of the second Japan-UK Higher Education Symposium

　On 18-19 November, the second Japan-UK Higher Education Symposium was held on the subject “Internationalisation of universities – How to enhance and maintain teaching and research quality.” Venued at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, the symposium was sponsored by JSPS, the British Council, Kyushu University and Japan Committee of Universities for International Exchange (JACUIE). This second symposium attracted some 80 university representatives from Japan and the UK. Discussions were advanced on three themes: Staff and student mobility, Transferable skills and career development of PhD students, and Developing a university-wide international ethos.
The symposium sharpened the participants’ perception of issues and differences relative to the internationalization of higher education in the two countries, jelling a renewed understanding of the need to establish a close relationship – one that can take advantage of opportunities for future bilateral collaboration.
