A visit to Senshu University in Tokyo in October opened new opportunities for collaboration in linguistics and communication between the philology departments of the Faculty of Arts, UPJ\u0160 and the School of International Communication, Senshu University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several meetings were held between the Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof. Ren\u00e1ta Panocov\u00e1<\/strong>, the Bursar of the Faculty of Arts, Dr. Dagmar Hvozdovi\u010dov\u00e1<\/strong>, and Prof. Takehiko Maruyama<\/strong> and Prof. Tatsuya Saito<\/strong>, along with their colleagues. These meetings confirmed a shared interest in developing cooperation in both teaching and research. The discussions brought forward several proposals for specific areas of potential joint research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prof. Ren\u00e1ta Panocov\u00e1<\/strong> also delivered a lecture to Master’s students at Senshu University which encouraged broader discussion and sparked the interest of Japanese students in exchange programmes and internships in Slovakia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Dean and the Faculty Bursar’s visit to the \u201cLand of the Rising Sun\u201d followed up on the April meeting between representatives of Pavol Jozef \u0160af\u00e1rik University in Ko\u0161ice and the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic, held at the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Japan. The aim of that meeting was to strengthen and expand existing cooperation with Japanese universities.
