DU and the chemistry department of the University of Copenhagen collaborated for 3 years from 1988, supported by Ministry of Education. At that time, the instructors of both universities intercommunicated quite actively, but currently the exchange is less active. (Signed in November, 1987)

One of the major universities in the UK, has over 30 schools in 6 fields including humanities, science, engineering, and pharmacy, with students numbering over 22,000. Located in Nottingham, known as the birthplace of Robin Hood. Its campus is as beautiful as a park.

Every department's instructors in DU have exchanges with the University of Nottingham. From 1990 to 1992, supported by the Ministry of Education (now Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture), our Department of Electrical Engineering and Department of Applied Electronics Engineering (now Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics, Department of Computer Science and Art) conducted international joint research with the University of Nottingham.

DU's Department of Mechanical Engineering and Department of Construction Engineering have especially active exchanges with RWTH.

At the end of last year, in commemoration of the conclusion of the third academic exchange partnership, a lecture was held at Nagoya International Center by a RWTH professor of construction engineering. (Signed December, 1990)


 
Dong-A University was established in 1947, and it currently consists of 11 colleges and 9 graduate schools, with 2 campuses in the city of Pusan. The number of students is 27,000 and the number of faculty is 540. The university has international exchange agreements with 24 universities in 12 countries, including 13 universities in Japan. DU is the first university with a school of engineering in the Nagoya area to establish a tie with the university. Its college of engineering is located in Saha-gu, and the Division of Planning and Landscape consists of the Department of Urban Planning and the Department of Landscape Architecture.

Joint research was started in 1999 between the instructors of the universityÍs Division of Planning and Landscape and our Department of Civil Engineering and Environmental Design, School of Engineering, and this resulted in the conclusion of an academic exchange partnership agreement between the two schools (signed in March, 2003). We aim to promote exchanges among students of the two universities in the future.
