Eight Swedish Investigators in Lund University and Karolinska Institute

Project No. : 18006 Core Institution in Japan: Keio University JSPS Core-to-Core Program –Integrated Action Initiative- FY2007 Research Report Project No. 18006 Collaboration of Research Centers for Stem Cell Research Theme Biology and Regeneration Medicine Duration of Project 2006.4.1-2008.3.31 Core Institution in Japan Keio University Implementing Organizations Country Japan Core Institution Keio University Co-Chair (name and title) Toshio Suda, Professor Number of Cooperating Institutions 0 Cooperating Institutions Country Sweden Core Institution Lund University Co-Chair (name and title) Sten Eirik Jacobsen, Professor Number of Cooperating Institutions 0 Cooperating Institutions Result of Program Implementation Eight Swedish investigators in Lund University and Karolinska Institute visited us in Keio University on November 30, 2007 , and we had a symposium on “Stem Cell Biology” at the Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo. Active discussions were held on the future possibilities of research collaboration. More than 20 investigators attended the international meetings or congresses on stem cells by the support of this grant. 1/2 Achievements in FY2007 (Self Review) Since 100 people could attend the symposium in Embassy, this core-to- core program was well known as an essential project for the global interaction. Thus, we will launch the Office for International Collaboration in Keio University School of Medicine in 2008. Through this activity, we will be able to take the leading position in the stem cell biology in the world. Future Plan (Measures toward Achieving Research Objectives) Keio University enjoys a world-wide reputation for stem cell studies, having another research program on cancer biology as the 21st Century COE Program. These two programs at Keio aim to collaborate in developing translational studies of the stem cells and cancer through various activities with the Lund Stem Cell Center such as joint studies on neural and hematopoietic stem cells, seminars focusing on the young researchers' work, and short/long term exchange programs, which in turn are expected to bring an expansion of a global network of researchers engaged in stem cell studies on the basis of this core-to-core projects. 2/2.

DEPARTMENT FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION PUBLIC & INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES Keio University Summer School 2019 Christ Church: August 19 – September 10 Radcliffe Camera, University of Oxford © Darrell Godliman University of Oxford Department for Continuing Education Keio University Summer School 2019 University of Oxford Oxford University is a historic and unique institution. As the oldest university in the English- speaking world, it can lay claim to nine centuries of continuous existence. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed in Oxford in some form in the late 11th century. Today there are over 22,600 students at Oxford University, including around 11,603 undergraduates and 10,499 postgraduates. Over 40% of the student body – nearly 9,200 students – are citizens of foreign countries. Students come to Oxford from more than 140 countries and territories. Each student is a member of one of the 38 colleges or 6 permanent private halls. The collegiate system is at the heart of the university’s success, giving students and academics the benefits of belonging to both a large, internationally renowned institution and to a small, interdisciplinary academic community. Colleges and halls select and admit undergraduate students, and select graduate students after they are admitted by the university. They provide accommodation, meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social activities, and pastoral care for their students; and are responsible for students’ tutorial teaching and welfare. Information on Oxford University is available at: www.ox.ac.uk/about Department for Continuing Education The mission of Oxford University Department for Continuing Education (OUDCE) is to make the scholarship of the university accessible to wider audiences.
