SIPAとの交流協定の調印式
3月13日、六本木ヒルズで行われたコロンビア大学公共政策大学院(SIPA)設立60周年の祝賀会において、本学公共政策大学院(GraSPP)とSIPAとの学術交流に関する協定書、および学生交流に関する覚書の調印式が行われました。これは、GraSPPが海外の公共政策大学院との間で交わした初めての協定書です。これにより、SIPAとの間で教員、研究者などの交流、学生の交流をはじめ、学術情報・資料の交換、共同研究や講義・シンポジウムの実施が可能となりました。早ければ今秋から実際の学生交流が行われる予定です。
The signing ceremony for the Agreement on Academic Exchange and the Memorandum on Student Exchange between the Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP), the University of Tokyo, and the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Columbia University, was held on March 13, 2006, at a reception celebrating the 60th anniversary of SIPA at Roppongi Hills, Tokyo. This is the first international agreement that GraSPP has ever entered into with any other school, and has enabled GraSPP to do various things, i.e., exchange of faculty members and researchers, exchange of students, exchange of academic information and materials, conducting collaborative research projects, conducting lectures and organizing symposia and so on. The first exchange of students is likely to take place in this autumn.
