Japan Hub Community

The Japan Hub promotes the engagement of the Politecnico community interested in developing activities and collaborations with Japan.

To this end, the Japan Hub Community has been established a broader network of faculty members and researchers who, beyond the Academic Board, already collaborate or intend to collaborate with Japan. The Community provides a space for updates, exchange, and active participation in the initiatives and opportunities promoted by the Japan Hub.

Services for Community members:

  • Promotion of activities in collaboration with Japan through the Japan Hub’s communication channels
  • Support in establishing institutional contacts with Japanese universities, research centers, and other relevant organizations
  • Support in organizing events and activities in collaboration with Japanese partners
  • Coordination of the institutional hosting of Japanese delegations and guests
  • Sharing of funding and collaboration opportunities (e.g. international competitive calls, Japanese programs, visiting opportunities)
  • Updates on initiatives promoted by the Japan Hub

Community members’ contribution to the Japan Hub:

  • Interaction with board members of their department to assess joint actions, taking a proactive role within the department by disseminating ongoing initiatives and acting as a point of contact for potential initiatives or connections not yet known to the Japan Hub that could be valuable
  • Development of events in collaboration with Japan
  • Contribution to the catalogue of research topics with Japan
