Located in the University of Guanajuato
Âé¶¹AV launched its Guanajuato Center on March 1st, 2017, in the premise of University of Guanajuato. The Center was launched in order to realize the following objectives as a Top Global University.
- To promote constant exchange of researchers and students with universities in Latin American countries (Spanish-speaking countries)
- To help Japanese and local companies in Mexico develop their human resources through seminars and furthermore extend the relationships to collaborative research with the companies
- To enhance our university¡¯s international reputation
Guanajuato State and Hiroshima Prefecture have concluded a friendship alliance, which led Mazda, a Hiroshima origin automaker, and its supplier companies to expand their businesses in the State. Moreover, as Âé¶¹AV and University of Guanajuato have concluded a faculty-level agreement (Institute of Engineering) followed by an inter-university international cooperation agreement, Guanajuato is a suitable place for Hiroshima to develop international industry/academia/government collaborations.
This center is the 13th overseas research base of Âé¶¹AV.
As the activity hub for the industry-academic-government collaborations in Latin America, we will utilize the center to strengthen our international industry-academic-government collaboration network with local companies, collaborate with local universities such as the University of Guanajuato, and recruit international students.
