GippLab members Dr. André Greiner-Petter and Dr. Timo Spinde had the honor of meeting Prof. Joybrato Mukherjee, President of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), during his visit to the National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo. During the meeting, our researchers presented their current research projects to highlight GippLab’s ongoing activities at the NII and the long-standing history of our successful collaboration.
The discussion, also attended by Prof. Shigeo Sugimoto, Acting Director-General of the NII, underscored the strong academic and cultural ties between German and Japanese research institutions. The DAAD President’s visit emphasized the significance and enduring success of this international partnership, which has been generously supported by the DAAD for over a decade.
Our cooperation with the NII offers students and early-career researchers at the University of Göttingen unique opportunities for research stays in Tokyo. Details are available at https://gipplab.uni-goettingen.de/tokyo.
