On April 15, 2016, President Pierre-Paul Zalio and Vice President Keitaro Nakatani from École Normale Supérieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan, France) visited NAIST.

At a courtesy visit to NAIST, President Naotake Ogasawara, Vice Presidents/Executive Directors Mikio Kataoka and Naokazu Yokoya, Executive Director of International Cooperation Masato Miyake, and Division for Global Education Director Sachi Ando welcomed President Zalio and Vice President Nakatani, and they shared information on further collaborations in education and research.

Then, the delegates visited the Graduate Schools of Information Science (GSIS), Biological Sciences (GSBS), and Materials Science (GSMS). Vice Dean of GSIS Hirokazu Kato, Vice Dean of GSBS Takashi Hashimoto, and Dean of GSMS Kakiuchi introduced their schools and research.

This was a beneficial opportunity for both sides to strengthen relationships and encourage future cooperation between ENS Cachan and NAIST.
