“Today we celebrate the 20-year anniversary of Agreement of Academic Exchange between Chonbuk National University from Korea and Tohoku University from Japan, and I sincerely hope our friendship will continue to grow into a relationship that promotes active development and engagement.”
To mark the 20-year anniversary of academic exchange between our university and Japan’s prestigious Tohoku University (TU), a congratulatory ceremony and symposium was held on November 7th at Paul Hall in the Jinsudang building.
CBNU President Geo-Suk Suh, Vice-President Hyo-Geun Shin, TU President Akihisa Inoue, Vice-President Yukihisa Kitamura and nearly 100 staff members from both universities were in attendance for the symposium. Representatives from both universities presented diverse ideas and topics discussing ways to intensify cooperation.
The day started with a 09:30 AM ceremony that looked back on the 20 years of academic exchange between the two universities. The president of each university presented commemorative tablets to one another, and promised to open the doors for further exchange and collaboration.
The following symposium featured TU Vice-President Yukihisa Kitamura’s presentation on “Tohoku University’s Incorporation Process” and CBNU Dean of College of Engineering Dong-Won Kim’s “Chonbuk National University Innovations in Engineering Education” presentation.

University representatives also had the opportunity to visit Jeonju Hanok Village, and shared amicable words over dinner.
TU President Inoue Akihisa said, “Out of the 200 universities in Korea, we signed an agreement with Chonbuk National University first and this university also graciously gave us the most help after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in March.” He added, “I hope that we can strengthen our relationship through this 20-year anniversary ceremony.”
President Suh Said, “Korea’s representative university, Chonbuk National University, and Japan’s representative university, Tohoku University, and the 20-year history of exchange between both universities has made me reminiscent. I am certain that the close collaboration between our universities will play a key role in the development of our countries, and I hope the academic exchange between the two universities will carry on through 50 years, 100 years.”
