The event underscored a shared commitment to enhancing collaboration and strengthening educational and research ties between IITH and Japan. A total of 72 participants from 15 universities and 6 organizations, including JST, NIMS, JSPS, JASSO, Tech Japan, and JICA, took part. Twenty booths were set up to provide students with valuable insights into higher education, research opportunities, and scholarships in Japan.

Dr Kazuhito HASHIMOTO, President, JST congratulated on the completion of Phase II project at IITH with JICA support and said “JST has the long history with India. Since 2014 with Sukura Science exchange program JST has inspired many young Indians to visit, out of this 5% have come from IITH, highest number from any institution in India. JST is introducing the new initiative, soon regarding academic exchange programs.
Sibi George, Ambassador of India in Japan said “IITH is a shining example in a vibrant link in India-Japan Science and Technology partnership and education partnership. India-Japan has a friendship relationship, built brick by brick. It is a special partnership between two countries regarding political, business and academic relationships. We need to have more exchanges for Science and Technology, and we are going in the right direction. Next year we are celebrating 40th anniversary of signing first MoU in the field of Science and Technology collaboration, and happy that we are celebrating that India-Japan year of Science and Technology and Innovation.”
Mr. Ariyoshi Takashi, Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of Japan, expressed his gratitude and said “This wonderful event will be the start of a new joint research between IITH and Japan, as well as an opportunity for IITH students to studying in Japan. I recognize that one of the barriers to study in Japan is learning Japanese, but there are an increasing number of universities in Japan where you can obtain a degree in English only. In addition, Japanese research institutions have unique and world-leading technology, and there is a great potential for collaboration with IITH”
