Launch of the PoliTO Japan Hub’s First Institutional Mission to Japan in 2026
The first institutional mission to Japan of 2026 by the Director of the PoliTO Japan Hub, Prof. Giuseppe Quaglia, has officially begun. He is accompanied by the Project Research Manager, Giovanni Colucci.
As part of the first institutional visit of the year, Prof. Giuseppe Quaglia visited the School of Engineering at the Institute of Science Tokyo on January 13. The meeting confirmed the strong and long-standing collaborative relationship between the two universities, which have long been engaged in promoting international exchanges of students and researchers. During the visit, the possible expansion of the existing agreements was discussed, with the aim of creating new student mobility opportunities within the Erasmus+ programme.
Subsequently, the delegation was received by the Ambassador of Italy to Japan, Gianluigi Benedetti. The meeting took place within the framework of the Embassy’s continued support for the activities of the Japan Hub, the only Italian international academic center in the country, and helped reaffirm its strategic role in strengthening scientific and academic relations between Italy and Japan.
Today, the Director visited the Research Institute for Marine Technology and Engineering of the JAMSTEC research center. The Italian delegation, accompanied by Gianluigi Serianni, Science, Technology and Innovation Attaché at the Italian Embassy in Tokyo, was welcomed by Director Tomoya Inoue and his colleagues. The visit aimed to present the activities of the Japan Hub and to initiate discussions on potential collaborations in the field of underwater exploratory robotics.
