Dr. Fumiaki Suzuki, Executive Director in charge of International Affairs and Public Relations, Gifu University and Prof. Dr. Sahoo Lingaraj of Indian Institute of Technology, Gwahati (IIT-G) were invited to the Member's Meeting of the Gifu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which was held in the Grand Hall of the Gifu Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday, June 2, 2014.
Dr. Suzuki delivered a speech titled, "Current Status and Futuer of Internationlaization of Gifu University and its Surrounding Regions."
Dr. Sahoo Lingaraj is a visiting professor who is engaging in research activities in Gifu University at the invitation of the Public Foundation of Chubu Science and Technology Center.
IIT-G and the Faculty of Engineering and the United Graduate School of Agricultural Science (UGSAS) of Gifu University have already formed faculty-level sister relations and both institutions wish to conclude university-level exchange agreement in the near future.
In the meeting, Dr. Suzuki spoke about the future image of internationalization in the regional community through tight collaboration between Gifu University and local industries. He sought the understanding and cooperation of the "Scheme Model of Hub Making for Glocalization* Strategy to create a prosperous future of the community in the region" which Gifu University has been initiating in order to produce the best human resources for the regions. To put this scheme into reality, Dr. Suzuki quoted an ongoing joint effort between Gifu University and IIT-G in introducing a "Japan-India Cooperative Education Program for Students to be Engineers Leading the Regions to Sustainable and Productive Future" and underscored a steady progress in Glocalization through close cooperation with Dr. Sahoo Lingaraj.
Because collaboration from local businesses and industries is indispensable to a successful implementation of this scheme, it is hoped that Dr. Suzuki's speech helped the meeting participants, most of who are businesspeople from the Gifu City regions, understand the scheme's missions and objectives. Their impressive presentation also gave a strong momentum to collaboration between Gifu University and local businesses.
* Glocalization: portmanteau of "Globalization" and "Localization"
