Projects Supported by the 2019 Tohoku University-University College London Matching Fund

In December 2018, University College London (UCL) and Tohoku University agreed to establish a matching fund to promote and encourage collaborative research between the two universities.

Based on this agreement, Tohoku University appealed to faculty members to submit proposals for collaborative research projects in all fields, and received a total of 13 applications.

After a joint review carried out by the two universities, the following seven projects (one in disaster science, two in neuroscience, two in materials science, one in data science, and one in equality and diversity) have been approved.

The fund will provide financial support for one academic year beginning June 2019, and is expected to lead to the further development of collaborative research between Tohoku University and UCL.
