HeKKSaGOn German-Japanese University Alliance

HeKKSaGOnロゴ

HeKKSaGOn German-Japanese University Alliance , a Japan-Germany university consortium, was established following the recommendation for such by Germany and its first meeting was held in Heidelberg in July 2010. Since then, member university president conferences have been alternately held every year and a half to discuss student/researcher exchange, joint programs, and more.

The consortium was named HeKKSaGOn, which is an acronym coined from the letters that make up the names of member universities: Heidelberg University, Kyoto University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Tohoku University [in Sendai], The University of Göttingen, and Osaka University.
