Programme details
Delivered in partnership by United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), the first and most respected research institution in the UAE, and the University of Tokyo, Japan’s first national university renowned for its academic excellence, this initiative is further strengthened by the inclusion of the University of Nagoya, recognized for its pioneering contributions to medical science and global health research. Together, these institutions bring diverse disciplines and cultural perspectives into a shared space of collaboration through two dynamic panel discussions aimed at shaping the future of global health.
Reports
【Reflection】
This programme was organised in collaboration between the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU), the University of Tokyo, and Nagoya University, focusing on healthcare research and development (R&D). It marked a valuable opportunity for leading institutions from both countries to come together through keynote speeches, interactive workshops, and panel discussions, opening new possibilities for cross-border knowledge exchange and future collaboration.
Two thematic panels shaped the discussions: “Nurturing Futures” and “Innovating for Health”. The first addressed maternal and child health, highlighting sustainable healthcare strategies and community-based approaches, while the second focused on contemporary challenges such as pandemic preparedness, healthcare accessibility, and the potential of digital health. Experts, researchers, and students engaged actively, sharing insights from diverse perspectives and contributing to constructive dialogue on shaping the healthcare systems of tomorrow.
The symposium successfully demonstrated how academic institutions can serve as platforms for international cooperation, reinforcing the academic and research ties between Japan and the UAE.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Building on the outcomes of this programme, UAE and Japanese institutions are expected to expand continuous exchanges and joint research in the field of healthcare R&D. In particular, collaborative projects and student mobility initiatives are anticipated in key areas such as maternal and child health, digital innovation, and global strategies for infectious disease control.
The networks forged during the symposium will provide the basis for ongoing international dialogue, with regular opportunities to share expertise and deliver tangible results for society. By engaging not only academia but also industry and civil society, the programme has laid the groundwork for a wider ecosystem of cooperation that supports the development of next-generation healthcare solutions.
The collaboration fostered at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai is set to continue well beyond the event itself, contributing meaningfully to the design of a more sustainable and resilient future society.
