Cooperation between ZEF and the University of Tokyo
The longstanding collaboration between the Center for Development Research (ZEF) and the University of Tokyo grows with the inclusion of the Graduate School of Frontier Science (GSFS) in addition to the International Program in Agricultural Development Studies (IPADS). Together, they are forging new pathways in sustainable development and addressing global challenges such as hunger, malnutrition, poverty, inequality, and the sustainable management of common resources. With interdisciplinary perspectives, all three institutes strive to create a positive impact.
The partnership, initiated in 2016, has evolved into a thriving collaboration of student and teaching exchange. All three institutes are committed to fostering academic excellence and empowering future decision-makers through science-based approaches to tackling complex global challenges.
