Brief overview :
The University of Cambridge and the University of Tokyo enjoy a long-term, cross-disciplinary partnership. An annual joint symposium has been organised since 2015 to promote academic links and collaborations.
This year marks the seventh of our joint symposia. It is entitled “Navigating Sustainable Development amid Uncertainty and Change” and we will focus on several topics that are of mutual interest to our two universities, and to share relevant research, promote links, and discuss collaboration opportunities. These areas also have great potential to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN and the global public good.

Prof Anne Ferguson-Smith, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and International Partnerships of the University of Cambridge, and Prof Kaori Hayashi, Executive Vice President of The University of Tokyo, will give opening remarks.
