三重大学と科学教育大学ダナン大学との大学間協定を締結しました / Mie University and University of Science and Education-The University of Danang(, Signed Academic Cooperation Agreement

7月30日（水）、三重大学と科学教育大学ダナン大学との大学間協定を締結しました。

三重大学はベトナム・ダナン大学傘下の科学教育大学（University of Science and Education- The University of Danang）と大学間協定を締結しました。これにより、両大学間の教育・研究交流がさらに広がることが期待されます。

調印式には、科学教育大学ダナン大学から Vo Van Minh 学長、Trinh Dang Mau 准教授が来学され、本学からは 伊藤正明学長、金子聡理事、福録恵子副学長、坂東泰子特命副学長、板谷明美学長補佐、川中普晴工学研究科長補佐、宇野貴浩准教授が臨席し、協定書への署名が取り交わされました。

三重大学と科学教育大学ダナン大学は、2022年に工学部との部局協定を締結し、これまでに教職員の相互訪問や学生の短期留学など、継続的な交流を行ってきました。2023年および2024年には、同大学から本学への教員の受入れや、本学学生の短期派遣を実施し、着実に関係を深めています。
今回、他学部とも交流を広げたいという先方からの強い要望を受け、大学間協定へと格上げする運びとなりました。

科学教育大学ダナン大学は、教育分野だけでなく、生物学や環境科学の分野にも力を入れており、調印式後には本学の生物資源学研究科も見学され、設備や研究内容の説明に熱心に耳を傾け、今後の連携の可能性について高い関心を示されていました。

また、研究活動の一環として、2025年8月から科学教育大学ダナン大学への短期留学を予定している本学工学部・工学研究科の学生3名との懇談会も開催されました。懇談会は終始和やかな雰囲気の中で行われ、学生たちは、渡航前に科学教育大学ダナン大学長らと直接言葉を交わす貴重な機会を得ることができました。

今後は、教育・研究のさらなる交流拡大を図るとともに、特に生物・環境科学分野における共同研究や人材育成にも連携を広げていく予定です。

On Wednesday, July 30, Mie University and University of Science and Education- The University of Danang(UED), signed Academic Cooperation Agreement, marking a significant step forward in strengthening academic and research collaboration between the two institutions.
The signing ceremony was held at Mie University, attended by Dr. Vo Van Minh, President of University of Science and Education-The University of Danang, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Trinh Dang Mau, who visited Japan for the occasion. Representing Mie University were President ITO Masaaki, Executive Vice President KANECO Satoshi, Vice President FUKUROKU Keiko, Specially Appointed Vice President BANDO Yasuko, Assistant to the President ITAYA Akemi, Vice Dean KAWANAKA Hiroharu from the Graduate School of Engineering, and Assoc. Prof. UNO Takahiro from the Graduate School of Engineering.
Mie University and the UED initially signed a department-level agreement between their engineering faculties in 2022. Since then, active academic exchange has taken place, including faculty visits and short-term student exchanges. In both 2023 and 2024, faculty members from UED visited Mie University, while Mie students participated in short-term study programs in Vietnam. In response to the strong desire expressed by USE to expand collaboration beyond the field of engineering, the agreement was elevated to an inter-university level.
In addition to its focus on teacher training, UED is actively developing its programs in biology and environmental sciences. Following the signing ceremony, the delegation visited the Graduate School of Bioresources at Mie University, where they attentively listened to presentations on research activities and expressed a strong interest in further collaboration in these fields.
A friendly dialogue session was also held with three students from the Faculty and Graduate School of Engineering at Mie University, who are scheduled to participate in a short-term research program at UED starting in August 2025. The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for the students to speak directly with the visiting UED representatives and gain insights before their departure. The session was marked by a warm and positive atmosphere.
Moving forward, Mie University looks forward to further expanding academic and research collaboration with the UED, particularly in the fields of biosciences, environmental studies, and human resource development.
