Hokkaido University and Seoul National University Collaborations


Hokkaido University (HU) and Seoul National University (SNU) have jointly held an academic symposium every year on a reciprocal basis since 1998 to commemorate the conclusion of an Inter-University Exchange Agreement between the two establishments in 1997. The joint symposium collaborations have been expanded to the joint field trips to the Universities’ Research Forests which are designed for undergraduate students in forestry (since 2015), administrative/specialised staff exchange programme (since 2017), and other university-wide activities. The 27th HU-SNU Joint Symposium will be held in SNU in 2024. The details will be uploaded on the official website.
