Faculty of Fundamental Sciences will collaborate with their colleagues from Japan
Rimantas Belevicius, the Dean of the Faculty of Fundamental Sciences (FFS) of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU), and Ogawa Matsuto and Okada Akihiro, the Deans of the Engineering and the Human development and environment high schools of Japan's Kobe University, signed a cooperation agreement.
The agreement provides that the departments of both Universities will develop scientific research according to their interests, will organise joint scientific seminars and participate at the scientific conferences, will share the staff and academics‘ experience, will write joint scientific articles for the research journals, published by the partner institutions.
The exchange of scientific publications, guides, textbooks and monographs is planned by the scientists of the universities. In the long run, the exchange among students and teaching staff of the universities should also start.
Associated Doctor Daiva Makuteniene, the Head of FFS Engineering Graphics Department, is the initiator and coordinator of the agreement. She said that this is a great opportunity for VGTU to expand cooperation, it is an incentive to sign agreements with other departments of the University, maybe even to sign an agreement between the universities.
Although the partnership agreement has just been signed, the Kobe University shows its first intentions. On November 1-2, at the Kobe University, Brussels, an international seminar is planned, during which D. Makutėnienė will read a report on the situation of engineering graphics‘studies in Lithuania. This workshop is organised and funded by the Kobe University. On August 4-8, in Innsbruck, the 16th ISGG (International Society for Geometry and Graphics) conference will be held, where A. Sokas and D. Makuteniene, associate professors of the Engineering graphics department will participate, together with their colleagues from Japan and other countries.
Next year in spring, a conference is planned in Vilnius, VGTU. During visit of our colleague from Japan in autumn of 2013, the exchange of textbooks took place and Doctor Hirotaka Suzuki brought to Japan a textbook "Applied engineering graphics", written by L. Ciupaila, Associated Professor of Engineering Graphics Department, and the university teachers listened to the report on teaching graphics at the Kobe University.
"I am happy that the idea, born four years ago, while preparing for a trip to Japan – the idea to cooperate with Japanese scientists and sign an agreement, has already been realized. This is a great appreciation, because Japanese scientific institutions are always looking for cooperation partners intensively and in a responsible manner. We have to value it," - assured D. Makuteniene.
