The Kansai University European Center will build a network between Kansai University and its partner universities and related institutions in Europe and support research and educational exchanges. To this end, we would like to provide records and up-to-date information on our activities through this website and promote contact and interaction with those who visit.
Although it still has been some difficulties of traveling overseas, we will strive to be a bridge between our university and related organizatios in Europe by using online as well.
