Kyoto University

Important Collaboration Partner in Asia

Collaborations between the universities of Zurich and Kyoto have existed for many years and in several research fields, such as stem cell medicine, plant science and anthropology. Two joint symposia were organized in 2013 and 2016, bringing together researchers from various research fields and with complementary strengths. In 2020, the alliance between the University of Zurich and Kyoto University was then converted into a strategic partnership.

This strategic alliance has already yielded results, as analyses have shown that publications emerging from existing research collaborations between Kyoto University and UZH are achieving great visibility.
