Hokkaido University and The University of Melbourne Collaborations



Hokkaido University (HU) and The University of Melbourne (UoM) have developed its research-based partnership over years, particularly in the fields of zoonosis control and chemistry. In order to deepen collaborations, HU and UoM have agreed to organise joint conferences to explore new research themes and encourage interdisciplinary research, promote co-supervision of doctoral students, and set up the Hokkaido – Melbourne Joint Research Workshops Fund to support the development of new research collaborations.
