In 2021, Tohoku University and Tsinghua University will support four collaborative research projects through their collaborative research fund.
The collaborative research fund was established by Tsinghua University and Tohoku University following the conclusion of an agreement between the two universities to promote and encourage joint research. The first call for projects to be supported by the fund was made in January 2019.
There were 7 applications for funding in this third round. Following a joint review carried out by the two universities, the following 4 joint research projects have been approved. All of the approved projects are related to one or more of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
The fund will provide financial support for the four projects for up to two academic years beginning in April 2021.
