Since its official launch in 2004, the Tsinghua University-Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology) Joint Graduate Program has continued to expand its fields of study and has produced meaningful results through regular academic seminars and exchange activities. The program employs a joint instruction model, where professors from both universities collaborate, thereby maximizing the benefits of human resource development for both institutions. The Joint Steering Committee strongly encourages support throughout the program to ensure the smooth implementation of projects. The teaching model of joint instruction, cross-disciplinary exchanges, periodic interactions, and joint management has fostered a multifaceted, deep, and close cooperative relationship between the two universities. It has also laid a solid foundation for further deepening exchanges between the two institutions. In 2021, Tsinghua University announced its Global Strategy 2030, one of whose core strategies is the development of students with global competency. This strategy promotes exchanges, integration, and joint development between Chinese and international students, thereby cultivating human resources with a global perspective who are capable of playing an active role in the advanced and complex field of global governance. I hope that the two universities will utilize the Tsinghua University-Science Tokyo Joint Graduate Program as an opportunity to continuously strengthen cooperation in human resource development and academic innovation. Furthermore, as leading universities, we aim to fulfill a unique role in addressing global challenges such as public health and climate change. We will also strive to cultivate pioneering capabilities to contribute to the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.
