Academic cooperation agreement signed with E-JUST

The Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology (E-JUST) and Tokyo Tech entered into a formal partner university relationship for academic cooperation in May 2015. The Institute has university-wide academic cooperation agreements with 28 institutions in 105 countries and regions for the purpose of promoting international research and student exchanges.

E-JUST is a graduate university of science and technology established in Alexandria in 2010 by the Egyptian government, based on a bilateral agreement between Egypt and Japan. One of E-JUST's objectives is "to implement a state-of-the-art educational system based on Japanese academic concepts and founded on a laboratory-based, project-based, and problem-based learning system."

Tokyo Tech's Graduate School of Science and Graduate School of Decision Science and Technology signed an academic cooperation agreement with E-JUST in December 2011. In May 2015, Tokyo Tech accomplished its long-sought goal of entering into a university-wide agreement.
