Swedish Minister for Migration and Ambassador to Japan visit Science Tokyo
Sweden's Minister for Migration Johan Forssell and Ambassador to Japan Viktoria Li visited Science Tokyo with their delegations on September 23, 2025, to confirm the current state of education and research exchanges between Japan and Sweden, and to establish a concrete framework for cooperation moving forward.
During the visit, Science Tokyo Vice President for International Strategy and Engagement Nobuhiro Hayashi introduced to the delegations the cutting-edge research fields promoted by Science Tokyo, the joint programs conducted with other world-leading universities, and the Institute's international strategy, which puts a strong emphasis on student diversity.
Science Tokyo has established Institute-wide agreements with four Swedish universities, including KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and actively promotes student and researcher exchanges through dispatch and other programs. Hayashi and the visiting delegations exchanged views on strengthening international collaboration, including promoting exchanges among young researchers and joint research, particularly in the fields of environment and energy.
Later in the day, the Study + Work in Sweden 2025 event was held at Tsubame Terrace on Ookayama Campus. Forssell delivered a keynote speech introducing opportunities for study and careers in the northern European nation. The event featured participants with study abroad experience from Science Tokyo and many other universities, providing a valuable opportunity for students to deepen their interest in Sweden.
Science Tokyo will use this visit as an opportunity to expand its academic exchange agreements with Swedish higher education institutions, thereby contributing to the advancement of education and research in Sweden and Japan.
