+++ Tokyo International Exchange Center +++

Since its opening in July 2001, Tokyo International Exchange Center has served as a high-quality living environment and intellectual exchange forum for exceptional graduate students and researchers from around Japan and abroad.

In addition to the exchange that comes from living in a shared environment, Tokyo International Exchange Center sponsors various international and cultural programs to promote exchange between residents and non-residents.

Through such exchange activities, Tokyo International Exchange Center strives to play a part in the building of a worldwide intellectual network and the creating of new ideas and technology that cross generations.
